“The 2017 Meursault Village is a brilliant young wine, unwinding in the glass with notes of crisp Anjou pear, green apple, dried white flowers, toasted sesame and hazelnuts. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and elegantly satiny, with racy acids, discrete structuring dry extract, and a long, elegantly chalky finish. Raphal Coche thinks this will prove reminiscent of the domaine’s 2001in so far as the 2001 drank well in its youth, but despite its youthful precocity, it proved surprisingly long lived. Here, the expressiveness of the vintage meets the tensile, age-worthy Coche style to great effect. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes.”

“A background whiff of reduction isn’t enough to detract from the otherwise very Meursault nose combining notes of hazelnut and acacia blossom with those of apple compote, spice and a whisper of brown butter. The impressively rich medium-bodied flavors possess very good volume and evident minerality on the bitter lemon-inflected finish that manages to deliver fine length even though it is still pretty tightly wrapped. Not surprisingly at only 6 years of age, this is still very much on the way up and I would suggest allowing it to continue to slumber for at least another 2 to 3 years and 6 to 8 would almost certainly be better. Lovely juice.”
