Introduction
This was a great chance to taste a range of Meursault by some of the top producers as hosted and chosen by Jasper Morris.
Flight 1 (6 notes)
White
2010 Coche-Dury Meursault
Mid gold, just a touch of spent match, ripe apple fruit, citrus, hazelnut, quite electric on the palate with great acidity, fabulous finish, so long
White
2014 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre
Bottled under diam since 2013. Ripe and rounder than the Coche but light on the palate, it dances across the palate, youthful and energetic, lovely acidity on the finish which is really long and nice savoury
White
2015 Domaine Roulot Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères
Youthful and fairly light in colour, Jasper says this is a very elegant cru, there's a slight sweetness from the ripe fruit, and vintage most likely, plenty of citrus, mouthcoating with a fair amount of substance and a really long finish, mouth-tingling with waves of flavour and lots of energy. just lovely.
White
2012 Domaine Francois et Antoine Jobard Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières
Medium gold colour and deeper than the previous wines. Nutty, some evolution on the nose, more savoury than fruit, good mouth-filling flavour, long finish, decent length, overwhelmed by the other wines today, but a good wine.
White
2010 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Meursault 1er Cru Charmes
Golden colour, rich nose of ripe orchard fruits, there's a fair weight here of ripe apple and yellow plums with a rounded texture which is cut beautifully by the cleansing acidity, quite intense, really great long finish, very impressive
White
2014 Albert Grivault Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Perrières
the nose is a bit muted, compared to the other wines, its not ready to play yet, a bit of orchard fruit, quite mineral, flinty even but has plenty of extract, just quite tights and almost lean, someone mentioned rubber band, another iodine. going back to this sample an hour or so later it had opened up and was more expressive, I think this just needs a long snooze before its ready to reveal itself
Closing
This tasting certainly lived up to the billing with an excellent set of wines, when your starter is a 10 year old Coche-Dury you know it's going to go well. The Jobard was a bit out classed by the very stiff competition but was still a lovely wine in itself. The Grivault was a wine I've never tasted before but only read about and would be one to revisit in a number of years. My favourite was the PYCM Charmes, the group had Coche, Lafon, Roulot and PYCM pretty even at the top, as you would expect.
