The 2020 Meursault Rougeots has a razor-sharp bouquet with yellow plum, honeysuckle and jasmine, very complex for Village Cru (though it has form!). The palate is beautifully balanced with fine acidity, waxy in texture, almond and orange pith mixed with a touch of stem ginger towards the composed yet persistent finish. Excellent.
Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, mint, sweet citrus fruits, buttery pastry, fresh ginger and almonds, the 2020 Meursault Les Rougeots is medium to full-bodied, deep and satiny, with a textural attack that segues into a racy, concentrated mid-palate that's a touch broader-shouldered and more muscular than Coche's other communal-level bottlings this year. Seamless and complete, it concludes with a long, saline finish.
