Burghound, June 2012, Score: 92-94
A slightly riper and notably more elegant nose offers up aromas of citrus peel, white orchard fruits, hazelnut and lovely floral nuances. There is stunningly good intensity to the dense, delineated and lightly mineral-inflected mouth coating medium-bodied flavors that possess palate-staining extract that buffers the moderately firm acidity on the hugely long, indeed explosive and absolutely bone dry finish. This should be spectacular in time though note that plenty of it will be required.Drink: 2020+
Region
Meursault
Meursault is the first great white wine area that one stumbles upon on leaving Beaune. Unlike other white dominated appellations in Burgundy, Meursault has no grand cru vineyards. It nonetheless has significant flair and power which make up for this deficiency. Indeed, if tasted blind some of these wines could even surpass other Burgundian grand crus. They are no fainting daisies. This may partially be due to Meursault's lower water table which enables the roots to delve deep in the soil picking up many trace minerals and which further stresses the vines. In addition, the cellars are more profound and cooler, enabling long fermentations, which increase complexity and longevity. Some interesting red wines are also made.
