Tasting notes
The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Gouttes d'Or is one of the highlights of the range this year, offering up aromas of citrus oil, honeyed pears, freshly baked bread and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with lively acids and a long, penetrating finish.

The 2020 Meursault Les Gouttes d’Or 1er Cru has a more complex bouquet than the Bouchères with lanolin, dried honey and hazelnut aromas that unfold in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a zest opening: pink grapefruit, orange zest and a touch of spice, this has good weight on the finish. Fine.
A similar pale lemon colour, but the nose is a little richer with some yellow plums. Some orange zest as well, a blossoming middle, the finish is as yet less expressive with acidity and fruit still waiting to integrate.�
