Tasted Sunday, June 17, 2012 by french16 with 363 views
Great tasting even if a few wines lacked true interest. But overall a great feel for the 2008 vintage: good acidity with wines showing great fruit and extract. Nice to see that none of the wines tasted were a bad caricature of Meursault showing too much nutty oak and buttery notes.
2008 Domaine Rougeot Meursault Monatine
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
Some lime and nutty notes on the nose. Exotic fruit (pineapple) with maybe a touch of orange as well. Sulfur. Slightly bitter and severe finish. While I thought the nose was enjoyable, the palate is somehow boring.

2008 Latour-Labille / Vincent Latour Meursault Clos des Meix Chavaux
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
A little more smoky oak than the Rougeot Monatine. Some reduction as well. White flowers, mineral, some peach. A little soft with pineapple notes on the palate. There's also an interesting salty tang. Not the greatest Meursault but ok.
