Chateau Meursault, Corton Rouge

Chateau Meursault, Corton Rouge(from Les Vergennes and Rognets). A pungent nose of wood and reduction dominate the underlying fruit today. Otherwise the round and velvet textured flavors possess both good volume and excellent richness, all wrapped in a mildly austere and reasonably well balanced finish that offers good if not exceptional complexity. There is a hint of warmth but its not intrusive and overall this is a relatively forward Corton that could be enjoyed relatively young

I suspect this will come close to the quality of the Hill of Grace at a fraction of the price

but it will unquestionably give another couple of decade’s drinking pleasure

Wrapped up with notions of lemon pith and a fine dusty minerality

mid-palate and finish characterizes this dry

It's that elusive combination of concentration and complexity

I very much like the mouth feel and this is both classy and stylish

There is a velvety side to this Lupicaia

This is the biggest wine in the range yet impeccably wellbalanced and if not exactly refined

But one also knows what can happen if bad weather comes

Matured for 11 months in 228-liter barrels (around one-third new) and enriched by 30% perpetual blend dating back to 1986

going more in the direction of Iruelas

waxy and saline blend
