For Guy Bocard, Meursault (and even his Bourgogne Blanc, made from vines within the commune of Meursault but outside the appellation) is racy, nervous, taut, and even austere when young, more mineral than pear or apple, with an oily-rich viscosity and a hint of hazelnut in the finish. “If you can taste the oak then I’ve used too much” is his motto, adding that new oak is like salt in great cuisine, a subtle enhancer of flavor rather than its dominant profile.
A classic Meursault, notes of hazelnut, lime & earth. sleek, elegant and persistent Vibrant and softly fruity with butterscotch richness and a lovely gentle complexity. In fact everything a good white Burgundy should be.
