Description
The 2021 Meursault Village is a blend of Les Corbins, Les Santenots, and Clos de Cromin, which are normally bottled separately. This year, they are pressed together. It has a clean and perfumed bouquet with white peach, Nashi pear, and light Mirabelle scents. Fine delineation. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, quite taut with orange rind and pear, perhaps just missing a little sustain on the finish. Otherwise, this is a fine Meursault.

Just 14 barrels of Meursault instead of 60. All plots were blended together in 2021. Mid lemon yellow. A pretty nose with some plum and fresh quince notes, quite perfumed. Spicy finish then pears and peaches, rather exotic. This will be rather enjoyable to drink but is not especially classic. Fortunately, there is enough acidity behind.

Allen Meadows 88/100
From Santenots, Les Corbins and Clos du Cromin.
A discreet application of wood is present in the fresh and slightly riper aromas of hazelnut, pear essence, citrus zest, and acacia blossom. Once again, there is excellent energy in the beautifully delineated medium-bodied flavours that deliver excellent length, if only average depth. However, complexity may develop well if kept for a few years.
Drink from 2026 onward
About this wine
Meursault
Famed as the jewel of Burgundy’s white wines, Meursault is home to more top producers than any other commune in the Côte d’Or. Renowned for its rich, savoury style with nutty, honeyed depth and a creamy oak influence, Meursault crafts both luxurious and long-lived whites. This is the beating heart of opulent, age-worthy Chardonnay, from its celebrated Premiers Crus to its characterful village lieux-dits.
