"Because of the hail in 2013, there is only a single bottling of Meursault this year, rather than two cuvées, and the wine has turned out very well indeed. The bouquet offers up a fine and very minerally constellation of apple, quince, chalky mineral tones, almonds and a topnote of citrus peel. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, long and very nicely reserved in style out of the blocks, with a lovely core, fine focus and cut and superb backend energy on the long and primary finish. Fine juice."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Beaune's largest white-wine village, known for rich, nutty, buttery Chardonnay of generous texture.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
