The 2023 Meursault Village is the most structured of these three communal-level whites, exhibiting notes of pear, white flowers and toasted nuts, followed by a medium-bodied palate with good cut and a saline finish.
Fine lemon and lime from Drouhin’s stable source in Meursault, a little fuller and richer than the other two main villages, but with a fresh aspect to the generous fruit which works very well. Excellent aftertaste,
Cask sample. Very slightly creamy on the nose, acacia blossom. This is good. The energy runs like a lightning rod through the wine, through the acidity, making the fruit crack and snap with vigour. The attack is full frontal and then it swoops into a circle and fills every corner. Chiselled stoniness but every groove is filled with juicy white-yellow fruit. For a village-level wine, this is fabulous. Touch of cedar on the finish, but it’s slight and doesn’t define the wine. (TC)
