Description
The 2022 Meursault Village was picked from August 22 until September 10, depending on where the fruit is sourced (from 16 batches), though blending only takes place before racking. Following Drouhin’s other whites, I can imagine the nose will have broad appeal, offering touches of white peach and orange pith, more floral than the Puligny Village. The palate is well-balanced with good weight. It’s not complex per se and quite linear towards the finish, but it needs a little more intricacy.

Made up from 16 different plots. A pale lemon colour. The nose is undemonstrative, but one senses the concentration behind it. Indeed, the fruit builds to the back of the palate with a little ripe citrus and correct acidity. Fine length, a little more interest than the very capable Puligny.

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.
