| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.4 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 26 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Mon.Maultiere on 3/16/2024 & rated 92 points: Drunk for lunch of brown shrimp salad. 13% Deep rich dark gold. A nose of butterscotch, ripe cantaloupe melon, butter and walnuts. It is bone dry with hints of almond (with the bitterness), and citrus zest. Only moderate length overall. Still a lovely wine with some complexity. (48 views) | | | Tasted by djhammond on 11/28/2022 & rated 91 points: A lovely mature rich Meursault, this is drinking beautifully with no hints of oxidation. The nose and palate show lemon, and lemon skin, with underlying nutty notes and with a buttery mouthfeel. The finish is dominated by grapefruit notes which I personally find a little distracting, but a great value Burgundy. (572 views) | | | Tasted by depechemoroder on 9/18/2014 & rated 90 points: Lovely Mersault - nose is relatively restrained for Mersault, but as it opens in the glass you get the richness - preserved lemon, baked apple, nectarine, hints of honey and pistachio, a little butter and some spice. Palate starts with a blast of citrus and yellow fruits and then melows into some nuttiness and minerality, while finishing with a nice caramel note. Acidity and fruit very much in balance. Drinking perfectly now. (3034 views) | | | Tasted by Andrewbdc on 2/28/2014 & rated 89 points: Clear, fairly dark yellow, little variation to the rim. Clean nose apple, citrus, hazelnut nose. Rich and full palate, buttery, citrus, quite sweet, lacks an acid backbone. Long finish. Lacks some finesse to make this a really excellent Meursault, but still very good. Probably time to drink up. (3215 views) | | | Tasted by chcook on 11/18/2012: PNP. color dark straw. nose leads with minerality then follows with nutty creamy chardonnay fruit, bordering on oxidized. swishing shows good acid and some delicate tannin, with med finish. sipping consistent with nose. assuming that this bottle is representative, i think that this is in the early stages of decline, and unless you like your white burg totally secondary would drink up. at the very least try one in your stash. (4249 views) | | | Tasted by goldgarf on 11/18/2012 & rated 78 points: A very nondescript chardonnay. Slightly sweet. (4333 views) | | | Tasted by bullmrkt on 5/4/2012 & rated 88 points: Pretty good but a little ripe and fat, it could use a touch more acid; a nice creamy finish. (4437 views) | | | Tasted by The Kokopelli on 5/16/2011 & rated 90 points: Kermit Lynch French Wine Private Tasting Closeout (DEPs): The 2006 En La Barre is a pale yellow to yellow wine with a medium body. The nose has green apple and a slight nuttiness. In the mouth, tastes of rich citrus, butter and hints of green apple are rolled into the big and round feel of the wine. The finish is creamy and buttery with slight green apple on a medium plus finish. Very nicely balanced overall. Nice depth and complexity here. (3545 views) | | | Tasted by BobJohnson1 on 3/7/2011: My third bottle. This one was much more advanced than others. Consumed along other white burgs, this stood out as sweet and flabby. I really like this producer, but I do not have much faith in the ability of this 06 to age well. Drink up. (2657 views) | | | Tasted by Melanielynn on 10/10/2010 & rated 94 points: Awesome almond and nutty flavor (2093 views) | | | Tasted by jeff nowak on 9/16/2010 & rated 87 points: dinner @ quince from half bottle. i was day dreaming and screwed this selection up. don't ask me how, but i thought i was ordering a ramonet meursault, however the ramonet was a chassagne-montrachet...what a dunce, because i didn't like this wine. it acted like a light weight kracher. really! strong apricot and oily texture of a sweet wine, although i must admit, it wasn't sweet with RS on the palate. very strange wine. i suppose it has it's own merits, but i was so confused by it, and then i realized my idiotic ordering mistake, so it was kinda doomed. (2122 views) | | | Tasted by ccn on 2/25/2010 & rated 87 points: Pleasant enough, though lacking somewhat in depth and complexity. Pears, exotic fruit, grapefruit,white flowers, wet stones -- slightly new-world flavors though fairly light (pleasant delicacy) in texture. Less-than-polished acidity shortens the finish a bit. Likely the components will integrate better over 2-3 years but doubt this is one for the long haul. (Wrote the preceeding before reading burghound but he is right about the hazelnutes.) (2215 views) | | | Tasted by vespasian on 10/2/2009: Honeyed stone fruits - quite interesting complexity, a style which definitely treads its own path; quite linear and lean on the palate. Not fleshy or rich in style. Needs time. (555 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio

Vineyard maps on weinlagen.infoMeursaultLocated in Cote de Beaune, south of Volnay and north of Puligny Montrachet. Meursault ("Murr-so") has historically been Burgundy's center for white wine production. In fact, nearly all of the 2.5 million bottles produced from 440 ha (1,090 acres) are whites. The soil is a mixture of marl and chalk and is perfectly suited to the production of chardonnay. Meursault wines are known for aromas of hazelnuts, honey and vanilla for its aromas and creamy, almost olive oilllike texture. There are no grand crus in Meursault, though Les Perrières, Les Genevrières and Les Charmes produce remarkable wines. Further, some of the most well-known vineyards of Meursault such as Narvaux and Limozin are not premier cru but Villages-classified vineyards. Recent top vintages include 2008, 2007, 2005, 2002, 1999, 1996, 1993, 1990.
With 437ha. of vineyards dedicated to Villages wine or Premier Cru, Meursault has the largest area permitted to be planted in white wine in the Cote-d'Or. Furthermore, despite the fact that the village lacks even one grand cru, Meursault has historically been Burgundy's center for white wine production, in the past even more so than Puligny-Montrachet or Chassagne-Montrachet. While much of those two villages had in the past been planted to red grapes, Meursault has always been white wine territory. In fact, the modern day vineyard of Les Combettes in Puligny-Montrachet, which forms a continuous chain with the premier crus of Meursault, was once considered part of Meursault and not Puligny, where the many nearby vineyards produced red wine. There are several important factors that determine the reputation of Meursault. Primarily, the soil throughout most of Meursault is perfectly suited to the production of chardonnay; it is a mixture of marl and chalk, that when combined with a largely east or southeast exposure creates healthy grapes that are full of character. Another factor correlates to geology, though in a very different way. Meursault's high water table allows its residents to carve deep, cold cellars "perfect for the production of wine" into the chalky, stony soil. So, while large negociants from Beaune dominated the production and marketing of Burgundy throughout time, Meursault remained a wine of its own citizens. Contributing to this, since red wine has been more prized throughout time, these same negociants looked elsewhere for sources because the wine of Meursault has always been white.
What makes the wine so special? The most common descriptors attached to Meursault are hazelnuts, honey and vanilla for its aromas and creamy for its texture. However, this simplifies things quite a bit. In most cases, Meursault despite an almost olive-oil texture is countered by a precise mineral character, stoniness and a more refined overall palate than, for instance, Chassagne-Montrachet. It's the unique stony/mineral character that often gets lost when tasting Meursault, as many concentrate on the ripe, hedonistic primary flavors and aromas. It's the bipolarity of the wine, the interplay of both factors, that makes Meursault one of the most sought after white wines in the world. As mentioned above, there are no grand crus in Meursault, though many would argue that Perrieres, Genevrieres and Charmes can attain these lofty heights in the hands of the best producers. Further, some of the most well-known vineyards of Meursault such as Narvaux and Limozin are not premier cru but Villages-classified vineyards, though again, the best examples are clearly of higher quality. source: http://www.burgundywinecompany.com/wines/display.php?subregion=Meursault
