Tasting notes
The 2019 Meursault Vieilles Vignes is a blend of Le Tesson, Les Pelles-Dessous and Les Forges, though the latter vineyard is being pulled up. Aged with 15% new oak, it has a nicely detailed bouquet with yellow plum and crushed chalk scents that gradually unfurl in the glass. The palate is well-balanced and quite pure with fine acidity and a harmonious, slightly saline finish.

To be bottled April/May 2021. Very different nose from the Cuvée des Ormes – much more sleek and conventional. Lemon and savoury, and even seems a little lean compared with the Cuvée des Ormes. Needs quite a bit of time. (JR)
The 2019 Meursault Vieilles Vignes has an attractive nose with grilled almond, walnut and light chamomile scents that gain intensity with aeration. The palate has commendable weight and a fine bead of acidity that counters the richness of this Meursault. It might be just a little heavy on the wood, although that does lend it a tempting creaminess and, for want of a better expression, sheer drinkability. It is a Meursault so more-ish, best to have a second bottle handy.
