Côte du Beaune

Meursault

Meursault is one of the three great White Burgundy villages along with Chassagne & Puligny. Many would argue that there are a few other villages vying to join the three.

Sandwiched between Puligny-Montrachet and Volnay, Meursault’s wines naturally vary from plot to plot, they have the potential to show the polar opposites of richness through to great elegance and delicacy. Soil composition and exposure providing great diversity.

For mine the most exciting Meursault wines show a delicacy, transparency, weightlessness with tension while still have a depth and length of flavour to match their standing in the hierarchy from Bourgogne to 1er Cru. Meursault having no Grand Cru vineyards.

98% of Meursault’s production is white wine. Whilst it has no Grand Cru’s. It has a cluster of Premier Cru’s next to Puligny-Montrachet and a second cluster next to Volnay.

The Appellation used to describe the wines depends on the variety, Pinot or Chardonnay, and the adjacent Appellation. For example, the cluster next to Volnay uses the Appellation Volnay-Santenot for the red Premier Cru’s. This makes sense when you consider the reputation for reds from Volnay. Whites from the same area use Meursault Premier Cru.

The key on the map details all of the different naming conventions.

Look out for the White Meursalt Premier Cru’s Charmes, Perriers, and, Genevrières. The best-known producers are Roulot, Comte Lafon & Coche Dury. There are many others making stunning wines.

In total there are 18 Premier Crus.

Domaine Henri Germain Côte d’Or Blanc 2018

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

"A notably ripe yet still attractively fresh nose flashes a hint of exotic fruit character on the notes of white peach, poached pear and whiff of lychee. There is once again very good energy to the delicious, round and rich flavors that also deliver fine length on the clean and dry finish." Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Henri Germain Côte d’Or Blanc 2021

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

Offering up aromas of pear, lime blossom and freshly baked bread, Germain's 2021 Bourgogne Côte d'Or is medium-bodied, with a racy spine of acidity and a saline finish. It's a lean, somewhat old-fashioned white that will likely pick up a bit more texture in bottle. William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 87-89 Points JM 87-89

Domaine Patrick Javillier Bourgogne Côte d’Or ‘Cuvée Oligocène 2020

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

Bourgogne from Meursault Vineyards! A discreet application of wood is present on the similar nose but with a bit more citrus influence. There is excellent energy and detail to the slightly more concentrated middle weight flavors that exude a refreshing salinity on the complex, lingering and balanced finale. This consistently boxes above its weight, and it is particularly good in 2020. Outstanding Top value ♥ 2026+ Allen Meadows, Burghound 88 Points

Domaine Patrick Javillier Meursault 2018

Chardonnay | Meursault, Côte du Beaune

This is a new Javillier cuvee and as such has not had the chance for review. “It is a blend of several selected plots in Meursault. This wine shows great aromatic power with a good acid balance. It is a structured wine with a long finish. The 2018 vintage is characterized by the power but above all the elegance.” Marion Javillier

Domaine Patrick Javillier Meursault ‘Clos du Cromin’ 2018

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

Stepping up from the Bourgogne level wines in a big way. Building tension length and depth. Again excellent composure, tighter now as it should be. Give this 12 months and you’ll be in a very happy place. Entrancing nice white flowers on grapefruit. A little more energy. Excellent texture, chalky phenolic acid complex that works brilliantly. An edge of grapefruit esque bitterness. A wonderful fine example. The mid-palate depth is the thing that demonstrates the step up in quality here.

Domaine Patrick Javillier Meursault ‘les Tillets’ 2018

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

Here the more expressive nose offers another small step up in aromatic elegance with its cool aromas of spiced jasmine tea, essence of pear and wet stone. The intense and delineated middle weight flavors brim with both dry extract and minerality that coats the palate on the linear and beautifully long finish. This is a classic Tillets of lace and grace. ♥ 2025+ Burghound

Domaine Patrick Javillier Meursault ‘les Tillets’ 2020

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

A cool, pure and restrained nose reflects airy and elegant notes of acacia, green apple, anise and a whiff of citrus rind. There is a beguiling sense of underlying tension to the detailed and mineral-inflected flavors that culminate in an attractively dry, clean and lingering finale. This is fine Meursault villages with the innate finesse of Tillets on display. Outstanding Top value ♥ 2026+ Allen Meadows, Burghound 90 Points

Domaine Patrick Javillier Meursault ‘les Clousots’ 2018

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

Tasting this I reflected back on Allen Meadows note, couldn't put it better myself. Loads of fun to be had here! Now the 3rd white I've tried from Javillier the thread has been delicacy, transluscence with wonderfully weighted flavours. From Les Clous and Crotots. “Once again, the nose is cool and restrained with its aromas of green fruit, mineral reduction, citrus peel and an interesting hint of quinine. There is fine richness to the enveloping medium weight flavors that exhibit focused po

Domaine Henri Germain Meursault ‘Les Chevalières’ 2018

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

"A markedly more restrained nose timidly offers up its array of overtly floral-suffused aromas of citrus zest, apple and mineral reduction. The mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is both sleeker and more refined if less generously proportioned while exhibiting a lovely minerality on the sneaky long finish. This is classic Chevalières, which is to say a wine of delicacy and finesse." Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Henri Germain Meursault ‘Limozin’ 2018

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

"A slightly riper nose offers up aromas of white peach, lemongrass, hazelnut and spice hints that are in keeping with the equally ripe, round and nicely rich medium-bodied flavors that aren't quite as refined, all wrapped in a delicious and more complex finish. In a word, excellent." Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Patrick Javillier Meursault ‘les Clousots’ 2020

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

There is a vague whiff of the exotic to the ripe, fresh and pretty aromas of roasted nut, mineral reduction, white peach and tangerine peel. There is superb intensity and cut to the dense and tautly muscular medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the youthfully austere and impressively persistent and distinctly lemony finish. This is terrific for its level and recommended. Outstanding Top value ♥ 2026+ Allen Meadows, Burghound 91 Points

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Meursault 1er ‘Genevrières’ 2020

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

A ripe and naturally exotic nose features notes of Asian-style tea, anise, white peach and a whiff of fennel. The relatively generously proportioned medium weight flavors exude a subtle bead of minerality on the very dry and youthfully austere finish that also possesses a touch of bitter citrus character. Lovely juice and this is really quite classy. 2028+ (from an incredible 2.7 ha holding which makes Bouchard the largest owner). Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-93 Points

Domaine Ballot-Millot Meursault 1er Cru ‘Genevrieres’ 2019

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

"A spicy and naturally exotic nose freely offers up notes of tea, white flowers and pretty essence of pear wisps. There is again terrific cut and intensity to the even more mineral-driven medium weight flavors that are shaped by bright and firm acidity on the sappy and hugely long finish. This is quite dense and unusually powerful for Genevrières. In a word, wonderful. Drink: 2029+ Outstanding ♥" Allen Meadows, Burghound

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

From Les Casse-Têtes and Meursault Les Murgers de Monthelie. “This is aromatically similar to the Clousots but with more floral elements. There is even better volume and mid-palate density to the muscular medium weight flavors that coat the mouth with dry extract on the overtly powerful finish where a hint of bitter lemon arises. This is a very serious Meursault villages that should amply repay up to a decade of cellaring. This too is recommended. ♥ 2026+ Burghound

Chardonnay | Meursault, Burgundy

The 2021 Meursault 1er Cru Poruzots reveals aromas of pear, green apple, spring blossoms, lemon oil and bread dough, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and tensile palate. If the Morgeot remains true-to-type with its demonstrative profile, the Poruzots is lent additional cut and grip by the vintage—and wears it well.d balance.
