Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Château de Meursault, Meursault, Les Perrières, 1er Cru, 2014

Classically Perrieres in style with plenty of firm stony notes cut with herb, smoke and salt flavours. There's a pleasing note of reserve, a taut reliance on elements that are not simply fruit based and as a result there is a lipsmacking refreshing purity to this. From two parcels within Perrières Dessus, and 55-year-old and 45-year-old vines.

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

(Follin-Arbelet believes that this holding next to the quarry is the best part of Perrières as there's very low humidity here; he noted that this parcel was not frosted this April): Bright medium yellow. Lightly saline aromas of lemon zest and blossom and minerals; smells denser than the 2013 version. Boasts a rich texture like liquid silk, with compelling sweetness cut by stony minerality and brisk acidity. Shows much more energy and mineral tension than the Charmes. The very long, rising finish leaves behind a tingling impression.

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.
