A vineyard toward the eastern extremity of the village; a monopole of the family Darviot.15% new wood for this wine. Pale lemon colour. The nose is undemonstrative but has some of the stuffing of a sound lower slope Meursault, even more so on the palate. The oak shows now but will integrate. Drink f...

From Aux-Perrières, a parcel that is shared between Domaine Darviot-Perrin and Coche-Dury. Originally planted in 1937 – half of it is in process of being replaced.Half is to be replanted next spring. Pale lemon yellow. The nose is a bit more massive but perhaps less fine. The oak adds to the punc...

Lies quite close to Perrières.Pierre-Antonin’s preferred wine in the cellar. All the subtle detail you could want, discretion without hiding anything. I love the precision that Pierre-Antonin has brought to these wines. The oak is fully integrated, and the intensity at the back is truly splendid...

Darviot-Perrin’s vines in Les Charmes are in the upper Charmes Dessus section of the climat. Planted in 1965.Pale lemon colour. The nose is quite discreet, suggesting a volume of fruit but holding back for the moment. The palate is a whole other ball game though, with a brilliant depth of fruit th...

The Meix Chavaux I appreciated last year is still a delight in this year's richer, warmer vintage. There are ripe apricot and nectarine notes with an edge of reductive, smoky notes and a firm mineral underpinning. The texture is fresh and tense, yet there is generosity as well that brings the wine i...

The 2022 Meursault Genevrières Dessus 1er Cru is only bottled en magnum. Side-by-side, there is a little more intensity and complexity compared to the regular cuvée, though it is only a marginal difference. The palate is well-balanced, with quite a lively, spicy opening. There’s good depth and a...

The 2022 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru has a more backward bouquet than the Les Charmes-Dessus, gaining intensity all the time in the glass. The well-balanced palate has a slightly creamy texture, harmonious with grilled hazelnut and almond. There’s a touch of vanilla pod towards the finish from...

Always a stalwart, the 2022 Meursault delivers aromas of pear, sweet citrus oil, freshly baked bread and crushed mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and chalky palate with good cut and plenty of chalky structuring extract. As usual, it's a blend of lieux-dits Les Forges, Les Pellans an...

This parcel is situated just above the “les Cloux" stream, facing the hillside of Meix Chavaux, in the heart of the village, where the slope is quite gentle and the soils rocky and well-draining.Pale yellow, white flowers and a little bitter honeysuckle and citrus.Interesting and complex expressio...

The 2022 Meursault Santenots 1er Cru had quite a lot of reduction on the nose when I tasted it, so the aromatics are challenging to read. The palate is medium-bodied with modest depth, attractive orange rind and quince notes. Perhaps, like the Bourgogne Chardonnay, I am seeking a little more nervosi...

This parcel is situated just above the “les Cloux" stream, facing the hillside of Meix Chavaux, in the heart of the village, where the slope is quite gentle and the soils rocky and well-draining.Mid lemon yellow. A little more tension, with some ripe citrus. Quite lean at this early stage for a Me...

Certified organic (since 1992) and biodynamic (Biodyvin since 1997)A nose of extra breadth, some architecture here too. Also beautifully fluid and mineral but here there’s an extra visibility to the depth of flavour – discreet but present – the finish almost unending – that’s a beauty!Bill...

Fine mid-lemon yellow. A lovely purity and generosity on the nose. Vibrant and juicy, what I expected from 2023 at the outset, builds steadily to the back of the palate, the flesh balanced by minerals. Excellent, especially the aftertaste. Drink from 2028-2034.90-92Jasper Morris MW.Some new oak. Cer...

From Les Pellans, Les Forges and Les Chaumes de NarvauxWhat a beautiful – ‘extra’ nose – spiced and ultra attractive. More mineral, almost a fluid middle and finish. A wine of delicious finesse…Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report.

This is a blend of Les Corbins and Les Clous, with slightly more of the former. Lemon and lime in colour, immediate energy, perfumed sunny ripeness also starts to emerge. Lime energy right at the back, and good fruit concentration through the middle. Drink from 2027-2031. Tasted Oct 2024.89-92 Jaspe...

From Aux-Perrières, a parcel that is shared between Domaine Darviot-Perrin and Coche-Dury. Originally planted in 1937 – half of it is in process of being replaced.Mid yellow, power to the nose and flesh behind, yet super tightly knit with both golden fruit and good acidity. A step and a half up i...

Darviot-Perrin’s vines in Les Charmes are in the upper Charmes Dessus section of the climat. Planted in 1965.Mid lemon yellow. This is an exuberantly fruity – (yellow) plummy style – Charmes, with a great deal to it on the palate, a fine acidity. Lemon drops further back on the palate, with go...

Lies quite close to Perrières.A lovely glowing pale yellow. The fruit seems in some ways a little richer than the Charmes, yet with the requisite detail, a more mineral acidity and greater persistence. More of a yellow fruit surrounding and providing the flesh. Drink from 2030-2036.93-95 Jasper Mor...

Leroux farms 1.7 hectares at the top of the slope.Fresh lemon in colour. The bouquet shows the hillside to good effect. There is significant weight on the palate, some well ripened apples, retaining a sense of the limestone base, a well-constructed finish and very persistent. Drink from 2029-2034.92...

The usual blend, all of their own vines, though Bois de Blagny has since been pulled out. Ben will go for wider rows with higher training and some agroforestry. Pale lemon yellow. The Meursault blend has a really refined nose, and is fine boned on the palate with just the right generosity of fruit...

The last vintage of purchased grapes here, because they have now bought the vineyard (0.82ha). Pale lemon yellow. A little more body compared to the village Meursault, a raft of white limestone fruit, with good acidity to finish. Drink from 2028-2032.90-92 Jasper Morris MWThe 2024 Meursault Les Vire...

A lively lemon and lime colour. The Narvaux shows a beautiful bouquet, lifted fruit, just a little citrus, as so often in 2024 the fruit comes through with greater ripeness on the palate. A complete and very attractive Meursault which persists on the palate. Still in barrel. Drink from 2028-2034.91-...

Guillaume d'Angerville farms more than a hectare of white grapes in Santenots, originally planted with Chardonnay by his grandfather in 1905.More colour, with slight reduction on the nose that blows off. Cleaner on the palate though there is a residue at the finish. There is a good weight of orchard...
