?The 2020 Meursault Village comes from three parcels in the appellation. It has a lovely nose, well defined with touches of orange pith, citrus fruit and a touch of white flowers. The palate is lively on the entry, spicier than I was expecting with touches of ginger and lemongrass. Vibrant on the finish with a saline aftertaste. Delicious. Drink 2024-2038. Tasted Jan 2023 (90-92) points, Neal Martin, Vinous.com.
?Aromas of citrus zest, pear, white flowers, fresh bread and almond paste introduce the 2020 Meursault Village, a medium to full-bodied, ample and layered wine that's rich but chalky, concluding with a nicely defined finish.? 87-90 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate Feb 2023.
?Just a single cuv?e with no Vendanges S?lection?es possible. Fine pale lemon and lime. Quite an attractive bouquet and very balanced. Really quite some weight, a bit softer behind, a little touch of coconut. Drink from 2025-2029. Tasted: October 2022.? .88-90 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.
