Description

"A more compact nose, but discernably of Meursault (with sight of the label!) In the mouth, this is all Meursault, a certain richness to the texture but no fat – layered delivery of delicious flavour with plenty of energy. Gingerbread in the flavour. The finish slowly turning more mineral in style. A calmer energy for sure but still plenty of acidity from the vintage. Excellent Meursault." - Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report, 01/12/2021

"The 2020 vintage is a unique vintage. It is marked by historic precocity from budburst, with an advance of 3 weeks, until the harvest which took place entirely in the month of August. High temperatures associated with a lack of precipitation cause a significant water deficit as well as evapotranspiration phenomena in July and August. The absence of rain, on the other hand, allows the health of the grapes to be very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage generate wonderful balances. A wine with a fine aromatic intensity of almond, hazelnut, apple and a balance between smoothness and freshness on the palate. Food pairings Ideal with grilled seafood served with a prawn or crayfish sauce." - Winemaker Note
