Description

This is now almost entirely Meursault fruit, with small contributions from the Hautes-Côtes behind Pernand-Vergelesses, and a few barrels of Chardonnay from Vosne. Fermented and raised in foudre and 600-litre barrels, this is, as ever, excellent. Mealy and citrussy on the nose, there’s crisp stone-fruit and sizzling mineral freshness on the palate. This is juicy, pure and cleansing.
Drink 2022-2027.

Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy (January 2022) "Racked to tank in July, from foudre and 600 litre barrels. Almost all the grapes come from around Meursault. Excellent balance here with a line of concentration through the middle. Perfectly judged ripeness, more in white fruit. Textbook example, just a little oak toast but the fruit is the driver."
