Chateau Meursault, Corton Rouge other_regions This has to be one

This has to be one of the finest vintages of Laurel so far

rich and enveloping medium-bodied flavors still manage to be nicely precise while delivering solid if not exceptional depth and persistence on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish

The palate has pitch-perfect acidity

Slightly higher acidity/lower ph than 2009 and more successful for it

Not much sweet fruit here

Chateau Meursault, Corton Rouge other_regions This has to be one(from Les Vergennes and Rognets). A pungent nose of wood and reduction dominate the underlying fruit today. Otherwise the round and velvet textured flavors possess both good volume and excellent richness, all wrapped in a mildly austere and reasonably well balanced finish that offers good if not exceptional complexity. There is a hint of warmth but its not intrusive and overall this is a relatively forward Corton that could be enjoyed relatively young
