This normally rich Meursault has gone into overdrive in 2009, producing a superopulent wine. It does, however, balance that with fine acidity and a mineral edge. It opens slowly to give its apple and peach fruits.

Good ripe and rich wine that shows some of the opulence of Meursault. It has a good balance between toast and broad yellow and white fruit flavors. With acidity an extra component, the wine is attractively complete.

Meursault can manage big and bold, and this wine definitely lives up to that reputation. The spice and wood are perhaps too much at this stage. I would certainly like to see more of the ripe white fruits that are there in the background. A wine to return to in a year.
