Tasting notes
Pale yellow. White peach and a hint of hazelnut on the nose. Dense, sappy and energetic, offering lovely texture and concentration to its citrus and saline flavors. Finishes with firm lemony grip but no hard edges. The crop level here was just 30 hectoliters per hectare and it shows.

The 2014 Meursault les Meix Chavaux is more backward and introspective on the nose with limestone and flint here -- pretensions towards Puligny, perhaps? The palate contains a lot of energy, and is a little more malic than the Les Virieuls, but very dense and persistent towards the finish. There is something a little aristocratic about this Meursault and that makes it very appealing.
He has just excavated and found that the top and bottom of the slope are quite different underneath. Meix means Mas. Chef val = Chavaux. Quite exotic on the nose. Fresh and savoury. Tense and exciting. Lots of charm. Intense. Chewy finish. (JR)
