Meursault, Clos du Cromin, 2021
An engaging salty, savoury quality on the nose. This is concentrated at its core with fleshy lemon notes and enough salt and acidity to keep it tonic. Energising Meursault. Saline and full of white fruit and citrus pulp. There’s plenty of plump fruit, but its firm core keeps it feeling focussed. A vineyard that works particularly well in warm, dry vintages because of the clay content in the soil, and then after about 40cm you hit the mother rock, adding a balancing sense of complexity to the naturally full, open-knit fruit that characterises this wine.
critic reviews
The 2021 Meursault Clos du Cromin has a crisp fennel-tinged bouquet, just a light reduction at play, gaining intensity and depth with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a lightly spiced entry, sour lemon and orange rind, decent depth and tenderness towards the finish. Moderate length. This should be approachable after 18-24 months.
