Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
From a parcel that sits just above the Premier Cru vineyard sites, Les Clous is revered for balancing complexity with approachability. The nose displays the warmth of the vintage, with pastry crust and ripe peach notes combined with aromas of buttered toast. The palate has breadth and textural weight that is borne aloft by a steely energy on the finish.
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.
