justerini & brooks tasting note

Salty and nutty aromas on the nose that feel a bit more reticent than usual, keeping a bit in reserve, then deeper soft fleshed fruit on the palate. Almond, peach pit, rock salt and a powerful earthy minerality– there’s complexity and depth here but it needs a bit of time to unwind. With its north-east exposure and poor, sandy and stony soils this is not your typical Meursault. Taut and mineral with an intensity coming from limestone terroir, planted in 1950, this is typically a village Meursault of great class. Aged in 20% new oak for 12 months followed by six months in tank.

90-92/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2022 Meursault Meix Chavaux offers more fruit intensity than the Clos du Cromin: dried honey, mandarin and light crushed rock aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with an oily-textured opening. Plenty of extract and good depth, with a judicious touch of ginger enhancing the finish. Very promising.
