Tasting notes
The 2018 Meursault Santenots 1er Cru was the first vineyard picked this vintage, whereas it can often be the last. It has an attractive bouquet of grilled walnut and light smoky aromas, perhaps not quite as intense as recent vintages. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed entry, offering orange pith and light apricot notes and a smooth, almond-tinged finish. Fine.

Offering up a generous bouquet of pears, citrus zest, honeycomb and nutmeg, the 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Santenots is medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, with a fleshy, open-knit core and ripe balancing acids.
