Tasting notes
The 2019 Meursault Les Casse-Têtes comes from shallow soils and naturally low-yielding vines. It is quite tight on the nose, displaying delicate touches of yellow plum and hazelnut that gradually unfurl with time. The palate is well balanced with good nervosité and heightened mineralité , a little Puligny-like toward the finish. Great potential and surprisingly intellectual.

Notes of pear, toasted nuts and freshly baked bread introduce the 2018 Meursault Les Casse-Têtes, a medium to full-bodied, elegantly satiny and incisive wine that's chiseled and mineral, with a racy spine of acidity and a long, penetrating and chalky finish.
The 2018 Meursault Les Casses-Têtes comes from vines on rocky soils, less decomposed than other climats, where Romaric Chavy explained it is crucial to pick at exactly the right time. This has an intense bouquet of crushed stone, orange peel and light oyster shell aromas. The palate is taut and fresh on the entry, delivering a fine bead of acidity and tangerine and light mango notes, and spicier than the Les Narvaux, with a little more cohesion on the persistent finish. This is superb.
