Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Château de Meursault, Beaune Grèves, Les Trois Journaux, 1er Cru, 2015

Troix Journaux refers to the old measurement for the amount of land one horse could work in a day, equating to 0.33 ha. This is a spectacular parcel of 0.99 hectares in the upper part of Beaune Greves, the poor soil here gives wines incredible finesse and delicacy. Floral and elegant, such silky and seductive flavours of forest and summer berry, damson, silk and cherry blossom. Breathtaking. Fermented with 30% whole bunches and aged in 30% new oak.

ABV:
13.5%
92/100
Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2015 Beaune Les Grèves Les Trois Journaux 1er Cru has a delightful, quite pure bouquet with perfumed red cherry and crushed strawberry aromas and nicely integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tension on the entry, crisp and almost brittle in texture, though that is more the sensation of the energy that seems to percolate through this Les Grèves. I love the symmetry and precision here. A really fine, well-crafted 2015 Beaune that should give 15 years of drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Château de Meursault

Château de Meursault

A wonderful, historic Domaine that has the Côte de Beaune’s most impressive vaulted cellars. Château de Meursault has for a long time been on the tourist trail and is the impressive venue for the famous Paulee de Meursault in November. Their vineyard holdings have always been the envy of the Côte but a reliance on passing tourist trade, lack of know-how and investment meant that traditionally the wines failed to live up to their promise. However the Château’s fortunes changed in 2012 when it was bought by Olivier Halley with the intention to make it one of the most hallowed estates in Burgundy, money no object. The Château is now firmly on the Burgundy lover’s map. In 2012 Olivier brought in Stephane Follin-Arbelet to run the estate, brother of Frank Follin-Arbelet and former director of Bouchard, Stephane knows a thing or two about what it means to make top quality Burgundy and what it takes to manage a large estate. Conversion to organics, planting cover crops, increasing the size of picking teams (up to 200 people to shorten the harvest period) and lowering yields are just some of the many effective innovations he has brought in. The winemaking is respectful to terroir, new oak ranges from 25-40% and the wines are aged for 15-18 months in the enormous, cool, vaulted cellars underneath the Château. A new star of Burgundy is born. Along with sister estate, Château de Marsannay, this will soon be one of the biggest certified organic estates in the Côte d'Or.
