Meursault Les Casse-Têtes 2022 Vincent Girardin

Professional reviews

Vinous (92)

The 2022 Meursault Les Casse Tête has a feisty nose of yellow fruit mixed with lemongrass and lemon thyme. Fine delineation, but a bit "unruly" at the moment. The palate is well-balanced, with an effervescent entry and tangy marmalade notes infusing the citrus fruit with lovely sour lemon/sherbet notes on the finish. Recommended.

This is aromatically cooler still with its restrained nose of Granny Smith apples, white flower and mineral reduction aromas. There is again excellent underlying tension to the racy, detailed and stony medium weight flavors that are akin to rolling tiny pebbles around the mouth on the youthfully austere, sneaky long and balanced finale. Like the Tillets, this needs better depth but I am optimistic that a few years of keeping should prove helpful.

The fresher side of primrose. Rather more flesh here than the Tillets, white fruit with the crunchier side of apple fruit following on. Fair length.
