Meursault

An easy relaxed wines, it's just 'there' on the palate, with more volume than the Bourgognes, and more complexity and interest in the fruit. A very calm and succulent feel.

Richer - hint of peach and peach stone. Juicy with mouthwatering acidity. Supple, very fine. Apples? Something of pear flesh about it. Rémi says it is more backward.

The most open of all the Meursaults at this stage, as Rémi confirms; there is pineapple here as well as ripe citrus, a richness and a rather fab exotic character. Very easy to like.

Sweet and fat, very gourmand and salivating, an energy in the roundness. Not very mineral, it has a round enveloping generous character, then lemony tonic brightness on the finish.

While still in the 'line' of the wines of Laurent's cellar, this betrays it's Meursault origins with a broad density. Is that a hint of beeswax or honey? Quite an appetising touch of sweetness in...(read more)

Very pale greeny gold and very aromatic in a keen citrus way. Palate is fat and surprisingly full. Very pure and directed saline style, staying on lemon and citrus purity.

Oldest vines of the domaine, planted in 1940. Picked even after the Narvaux, because even though it is lower, it is round the corner into the beginning of the combe which goes up to Auxey Duresse...(read more)

55 year old vines, above Genevrières. A fuller nose than Luraule, more breadth of minerals, a flavour of rock-dust and a big nutty sort of flavour. Not as sleek as the Luraule, but more obvious c...(read more)

Vines planted in 1940. A cool north-easterly exposure, these are the vines he picks last. Surprisingly expressive and broad, it has an extra pulse of juiciness and energy. A real sense of limesto...(read more)

Pale, bright, green-tinged yellow. Lime blossom and a hint of hazelnut on the nose. Nicely concentrated and not at all overly sweet, displaying lovely high-pitched citrus and white peach perfume...(read more)
