Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
This cuvée comes from a single hectare on the boundary of Puligny, and so has the pristine purity that you would expect from such a location. This is the liveliest of the Château’s Meursaults in 2023, combining pink grapefruit with riper notes of apricot on the nose. The palate also has verve, with a sherbet-inspired energy that makes it so moreishly mouthwatering. Over a few years, the wine will settle and reveal its more composed side. A wine with immense potential.
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.
