The 2016 Meursault Village wafts from the glass with notes of crisp apple, pear, almond paste and lemon oil, displaying a pure bouquet that isnt marked by the reductive signatures of yesteryear. On the palate, its medium to full-bodied, intense and incisive, with excellent concentration and a tangy line of acidity that lends the wine enormous length. Right now, its youthfully tight-knit, but theres immense promise here. This note applies to a bottle from a cuv?e produced from the lieu-dit Les Chaumes that also contains some juice from La Barre. Rapha?l Coche told me that he produced three other cuv?es, one from Vireuils, another from Narvaux and a third assembling multiple parcels that together filled a press. As usual, the only way to know which bottling you possess is to ask the importer. (239, The Wine Advocate, 1st Nov 2018)
