The 2012 Meursault (my sample taken from their parcel in Chaumes) has a relatively austere bouquet at first, withholding its charm and then teasing with granitic, cold stone scents. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity and then it fans out in languid fashion with the delicately spicy finish. This is sophisticated and refined.
Just below Clos de la Barre. Light ruby. Very sweet and round without the concentration and freshness of the Bourgogne rouge. Sweet and supple. Round and flattering. Very different style from the Bourgogne Rouge. Longer and a bit more structured in the end. (JR)
