Medium yellow/green colour. There are intense pea-pod & asparagus aromas. The palate is rich with a touch of sweetness/juicy ripeness, overlaid by toasty oak. The alcohol adds a touch of warmth & the acidity is quite tart, leaving green notes on the finish.

Medium golden yellow, silver reflections. Nuances of yellow apple, delicate pineapple, fine citrus zest, mineral touch. Medium complexity, white fruit, fine acid structure, subtle extract sweetness in the finish, well balanced, already developed and easy to drink, subtle floral honey in the aftertaste.

The aromas are bright, with notes of honey dew, lemon and spice, much more fruit forward than this wine usually is. The palate meanwhile is reserved. It seems fragmented at present, but many good pieces are there. Sean P. Sullivan

The grapes for Meursault Les Meurgers are coming from the parcel located on the route to Auxey Duresses, in a horseshoe shape ravine. The grapes always reach ripeness quite early in the season. The name of this village comes from the efforts undertaken by man to plant vines in extremely stony soils. Stones that were thrown formed piles, that are called "murger".

Rich and luxurious wine, well balanced and structured in the mouth. Beautiful golden yellow in color with green highlights. It boasts aromas of toasted nuts, ripe fruit and a very delicate oak aroma. On the palate it is dry and mellow with a lingering smooth finish.

Nose: Intense aromas of citrus fruits, particularly grapefruit, with hints of white flowers and a touch of honey.

Taste: Crisp and refreshing on the palate, with flavors of lemon, lime, and green apple. Subtle notes of tropical fruits and a delicate minerality.

Palate: Well-balanced acidity, offering a lively and vibrant mouthfeel. The wine has a medium body and a long, zesty finish.

This does, in fact, attack the palate with a burst of raw wood that sharpens up the mouthfeel. More time in bottle and plenty of aeration will help to smooth that out. Vinified in a brand new foudre, the Dijon 76 clone fruit is polished and mixes apple, pear and peach with a touch of fruit skin.
