Note di degustazione
The 2018 Meursault Désirée, matured for 12 months in barrel and 4 months in tank, has an intense bouquet of dried honey and touches of white peach and walnut. I would have liked a little more delineation but it has an engaging purity. The palate is balanced with a concentrated opening and rounded in the mouth, offering a touch of spice and tropical tones toward the voluminous finish. Lacks a little grace, but packed full of flavor.

The 2018 Meursault Désirée has a perfumed bouquet with hazelnut and subtle smoky aromas infusing the citrus fruit, traces of pressed flowers in the background. The palate is slightly viscous on the entry and rounded in texture, with a bit of oak to be subsumed on the midpalate. Good weight and generosity for a Meursault, leading to a lavish, smooth finish. Hints of Szechuan pepper linger on the aftertaste.
A ripe bouquet of honeyed peaches, pears, beeswax, toasted almonds and white flowers introduces the 2018 Meursault Désirée, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping wine that's ripe, textural and sumptuous, with succulent acids and a long finish. While the Désirée always has huge upfront appeal, it is often also deceptively age-worthy.
