Tasting notes
The 2017 Meursault Village is a blend of lieux-dits Les Pelles (below the premiers crus) and Chaumes des Narvaux (below Narvaux and above the premiers crus) with Les Corbins and Les Peutes Vignes (which touch Les Santenots). Offering up aromas of pear, green apple, peach and oatmeal, framed by a light touch of reduction, the wine is medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and tight-knit, with good structuring extract and back-end grip. This is a fine cuvée that's a touch old-fashioned in the best sense.

Tank sample. Intense citrus with a mealy note to soften the aroma. Balanced and long but without great intensity on the mid palate. (JH)
The 2017 Meursault Village is missing a little terroir expression on the nose, which is, surprisingly, a tad anonymous compared to the impressive Bourgogne Blanc. The palate is fresh on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, then quite taut and linear, revealing a strong saline influence on the finish. I would just like more Meursault character to come through.
