FEATURES
🏰 The 2021 vintage in Burgundy, particularly for white wines like this Meursault, was marked by extreme challenges, including severe April frosts that dramatically reduced harvest volumes, with some producers experiencing 50-90% crop loss. Despite these difficulties, the resulting white wines from the Côte d'Or are celebrated for their dazzling precision, concentration, and vibrant purity. Pierre Morey's Meursault Clos le Meix Tavaux 2021 is a testament to this resilience. This white Burgundy, from a vineyard known for its stony, well-draining soil, offers a clear pale lemon hue. Tasting notes reveal a subtle blend of citrus, floral, and hazelnut essence, with classic orchard fruit, correct acidity, and a graceful hint of oak, culminating in a pleasingly persistent finish. It's described as elegant and vertical, with a subtle floral identity, bright fresh fruit, and a refined minerality that some compare to a Puligny style. 【A testament to resilience, the 2021 vintage, despite severe frost and low yields, produced white Burgundies of dazzling precision and concentration.】 This wine is expected to develop beautifully, with a recommended drinking window from 2028-2032.
