Francois Mikulski, Poruzots, Meursault 1er Cru, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Meursault 1er Cru 2010

Muted nose, quite oaky, pears. Juicy attack, ample fruit and concentration, but there’s an odd phenolic tone that’s close to earthy. This is solid rather than exciting, and it does tail off on the finish, since it lacks the vibrant acidity of the vintage. Quite good length.

Dull nose. Not very expressive on the front palate with some citrus notes, but good acid on the finish. Balanced and with some length.

Tasting: Meursault 1er Cru 2010

Attractively floral, citrus fruit nose with a touch of dry herbs. Fine and vibrant citrussy fruit with natural, slightly nutty ripeness, good vineyard personality and good length. Acidity high now, but this is good for the future, a wine with personality and grip, will age well.
