Score 91-93/100 · William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Jan 2022

With the 2020 Meursault Désirée, the "young" vines here have attained their 25th year, and things are starting to get serious. Mingling notes of stone fruit and pear with hints of honeycomb, almonds and spices, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, its textural attack segueing into a layered, gourmand mid-palate, before concluding with a saline finish.

Cask sample. Mid lemon; richer texture, baked apples and fresh dough; but zesty and charming. (MH)

The 2020 Meursault Désirée has a well-defined bouquet with dried honey, yellow flowers and a touch of grilled walnut. It opens nicely in the glass. The palate has a slightly waxy entry, fine acidity, taut and focused with a touch of orange pith and lemon curd towards the finish. Good length. Excellent. Closure: Diam 30
