The 2021 Meursault Les Chevalières is terrific, with all the cut and tension of a wine from two decades ago. Mingling notes of crisp pear and green apple with notions of orange oil, freshly baked bread and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with racy acids, chalky extract and a long, penetrating finish.
Also quite coloured at the moment with a fatter nose. 13% natural. Leaner on the palate with both lemon and lime infiltrated the quite generous apple and white stone fruit. Excellent length, quite mineral, and with persistence.
