2019 Meursault, Les Tessons, Michel Bouzereau & Fils, Burgundy

Description

The domaine has half a hectare in this small, highly regarded vineyard above Grands Charrons; a good proportion of vines were planted in 1958. Elevage is longer, only in traditional pièces, 25% of which are new. There’s lots of perfume and, as always, tension. The mid-palate is dense, leading to a lifted, lime-scented finish. Drink 2022-2032.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 90-93/100
A pale yellow colour. Les Tessons offers a high class nose, ripe but balanced, and has retained a fresh touch, almost reductive. There is a mix of white and yellow fruit with a greengage edge. This is an enormously concentrated wine with some thick skin tannins too, and a very harmonious long finish. The Tessons came in at the same alcohol level as Grands Charrons at 14.35%, but it doesn’t show behind the weight of fruit. Lovely mineral acidity to finish.Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com (December 2020)

The 2019 Meursault Les Tessons has more amplitude than the Les Grands Charrons, featuring citrus lemon mixed with sea spray and oyster shell; touches of white peach and hazelnut emerge with time. The palate is very well balanced and very pretty on the entry, offering apricot, mango and spicy notes. This is more flattering than the Les Grands Charrons. The irresistible finish leaves touches of red cherry and spice lingering on the aftertaste. Superb.Neil Martin, Vinous.com

About this wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
