Ripe, fresh and airy aromas include those of hazelnut, pear, apple and an acacia blossom top note. The rich, sappy and caressing flavors coat the palate with dry extract that seems to become more apparent on the nicely dry and equally austere finale. Some patience required. Drink 2028+.
The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Santenots reveals a gently reductive bouquet of pear, white flowers, toasted nuts and freshly baked bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate that's impressively bright and mineral for such a sunny terroir in so warm a vintage.
A little more yellow in colour. Thee is quite a block of flavour but perhaps not finesse on the nose, while the palate delivers a juicy concentration of fruit which includes yellow plums as well as white apples, and for the moment a little bit of oak: 20% new, 350 litre barrels. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted Oct 2023.***
