" An elegant nose combines impressivley fresh red and blue pinot fruit that merges into round, generous and detailed middle weight flavors underpinned by ripe tannins and an utterly delicious finish. This is really quite good for a villages level Meursault and could easily be enjoyed immediately although it should improve with age."

A geographical note:
On the northern edge of Meursault at the border with Volnay, there is a vinous and invisible line. To its south grows chardonnay; to its north, pinot noir. Except in one spot (Ah, the French Wine bureaucracy!)A few acres of Volnay 1er cru Santenots stick into Meursault. Et voila: Meursault rouge.

“This departs from its normal expressiveness by being much more restrained and if not backward, then at least relatively reticent on the spicy red berry fruit nose that quietly introduces very concentrated, brooding and superbly powerful with equally well focused flavors underpinned by very firm tannins and plenty of underlying tension as you can really sense the energy here. Compliments by the way to Rousseau to have made such a fine wine from vines so hard hit by hail as quality like this is hard to come by on any basis let alone when Mother Nature is not on your side.”

“A discreet touch of wood sets off the earthy and distinctly gamy dark berry fruit aromas that complement the bigger, richer and more powerful flavors that possess more obvious volume yet despite the increase in size, there is no concession in terms of elegance or finesse as this is balanced and the supporting tannins are well-integrated on the long finish. Lovely and the only material difference of note is that the Chapelle has a modicum of additional depth on the finish.”

“It’s as though the Clos de Bèze and Chambertin have switched places in 2006 as here the nose is positively kaleidoscopic with a huge range of aromas and spice elements leading to fresh, pure, round, rich and focused full-bodied flavors that carry obvious muscle and minerality on the deep, powerful and hugely long finish. An extremely impressive wine and one of the finest wines of the vintage.”

This is very fresh with lively aromas of relatively high-toned red berry fruits, particularly currant and cranberry that complement well the delicious, punchy and detailed flavors that possess an attractive mouth feel and a dusty, long and sweet finish that offers good persistence….Still, this is a lovely villages.

A complex, fresh and layered nose of red berry fruits, spice and earth merges gracefully into rich, full, sweet and intense red cherry-infused flavors that are vibrant and unusually powerful while wrapped in a focused, mouth coating and superbly well balanced finish brimming with dry extract. A wine that will age for a long time.” Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

“A discreet soupçon of wood sets off an at once prettier yet more serious nose of layered and pure earthy pinot fruit that possesses fine aromatic depth and this depth continues onto the textured, intense and mouth coating medium-bodied flavors that are very Teurons in terms of their taut muscularity, all wrapped in a firm finish that is admirably persistent. There is very good underlying material and this could surprise to the upside. A classic Teurons.” Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

“An attractive mix of upper and lower register notes include crushed red berry aromas, warm earth and underbrush hints that can also be found on the nicely detailed and delicious flavors that are firm, intense and sweet if not especially complex. This is very Beaune in character….” Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

“Moderate wood spice frames the notably ripe yet still beautifully elegant mix of dark and red berry fruit aromas nuanced with hints of earth, underbrush and the barest nuance of smoke. The big yet refined flavors are serious, rich and precise with superb depth of material and simply stunning length. You can easily pick out the contributions of the individual components with the elegance of the Vignes Franches, the power and structure of the Teurons and the finesse and minerality of the Les Cras. An exceptionally impressive effort, indeed this is brilliant.” Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

“This is wonderfully stylish and pure with very Beaune-like vivacious red fruit aromas that complement perfectly the concentrated, intense and utterly delicious flavors that deliver real precision and excellent length. Excellent quality for the vintage. Outstanding! Top value!” Allen Meadows, Burghound.com
