Description
Adjoining Premier Cru land to the north of Meursault, this is the more mineral and elegant of François’s village wines. Deep clay in the soil retains water in warm years, providing freshness that pairs seamlessly with the generous stone fruits, subtle oak toast and a hint of spicy reduction. This is a classic Meursault with cut and verve.

Critics reviews
The 2022 Meursault Clos du Cromin has a refined bouquet, more nuanced than the Les Corbins with wilted white flowers emerging with time. The palate is well-balanced with notes of tangerine and peach. Not complex, but pure and fresh with satisfying length on the finish.
Drink 2025 - 2040
Fuller lemon yellow in colour, with a bouquet that shows riper fruit than the Corbins, more expressive. Starts with a certain generosity of fruit then clamps down in a much more austere, limestone finish. A little more persistent.
Drink 2027 - 2032
This is aromatically similar to the Les Corbins, if perhaps just a bit cooler and with a bit more wood in evidence. There is better volume to the seductive and caressing medium-bodied flavours that possess excellent punch on the balanced, lingering, and slightly more complex finish. This is a lovely Meursault village and worth checking out.
