2017 Meursault Villages

Note di degustazione
Aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, citrus oil, oatmeal, beeswax and fresh pastry introduce the 2017 Meursault Village, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping wine that's pure, precise and penetrating. More generous and textural than Ente's racier 2018 rendition, the 2017 is performing very well from bottle.

In tank since just before the 2018 harvest and will be bottled in March or April. 60% fruit from En l’Ormeau and 40% from Les Casse-Têtes lieux-dits. Fermented in two foudres and four barrels. Intensely pure ripe citrus leaps from the glass. A subtle spice and creamy character. Notes of tangy orange. Deep, deep wine. Full of fruit but not flirtatious. Serious Meursault, not the offcuts. There is a deeply beating heart. Deep and yet mouth-wateringly fresh. Long, too. (JH)
This is actually not aromatically dissimilar to the Bourgogne Chardonnay with perhaps a bit more overall layering. By contrast there is considerably better concentration to the more mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that offer both good richness and vibrancy, all wrapped in a dry, clean and focused finish. This is a very fine Meursault villages and worth considering.
