Note di degustazione
The 2018 Meursault Village opens in the glass with notes of crisp Anjou pear, white flowers, mandarin oil, bread dough and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's lively and precise, with a delicate but tightly wound core and a bright, mineral finish. As usual, this cuvée derives from two lieux-dits: En l'Ormeau on the plain (which is also the source of Ente's Clos des Ambres and Sève du Clos bottlings) and Les Casse-Têtes on the hillside, the vines having been planted in 1952-1953 and 1998, respectively.

Outstanding. Hints of smoke and matchstick character frames the ripe pear, apple, hazelnut and citrus zest-scented nose. There is a caressing mouthfeel to the attractively textured medium weight flavors that tighten up somewhat on the focused, delicious and lightly stony finish where a touch of refreshing bitter lemon adds a sense of lift.
60% fruit from En l’Ormeau and 40% from Les Casse-Têtes lieux-dits. Barrels, demi-muids and foudres. Tank sample. Herbs and green fruits nose. Incredible tension that feels like pétillance on the palate but isn’t, it’s just tension, freshness and purity – direct citrus. Not fruity but has fruit at its deepest core. Mouth-watering and long. Stunning directness and length in a village wine. (JH)
