Reviewed April 2019Hailing from the lieux-dits Les Clous and Moulin Landin, the 2017 Meursault unfurls in the glass with pretty aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, citrus oil, hazelnut cream and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and pure, with an elegantly textural attack, a good core of fruit and crisp acids. What's more, there are fully eleven barrels this year. (WK)

It is not just the Auxey blanc cuvées chez Lafouge that have excellent cut and grip on 2017, as this Meursault villages shows off beautiful structural tension. The nose is bright and classic, jumping from the glass in a mix of pear, passion fruit, hazelnut, chalky soil tones, citrus zest and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and racy, with a superb core for a villages bottling, lovely focus and grip and a long, bouncy and nicely tensile finish. Fine juice.
