Burghound: 88-90 Points

Ripe and vaguely exotic aromas of white peach acacia blossom and citrus confit are trimmed in soft wood. The rich suave and generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors display good if not special depth and persistence on the lightly stony finale. This too could be enjoyed young or cellared for 5-ish years first. (Drink starting 2027)

Vinous: 88-90 Points

The 2022 Meursault Village has an effective reduction on the nose that lends tension; there is real complexity here. The palate is well-balanced with a smooth rounded texture notes of pineapple and hints of orange pith harmonious towards the finish with a pinch of lemongrass. Very promising. (Drink between 2025 - 2034)

Jasper Morris: 89-92 Points

On its finings the village Meursault is blended from lower slope vineyards plus Bois de Blagny just under the forest. Elegant white fruit a mix of apple and pear displaying more body weight on the palate. The Meursault retains good acidity as well so this will continue to build in the right direction.
