Vinous (90-93)The 2020 Meursault À Mon Plaisir Clos du Haut Tesson offers a beguiling combination of fruit intensity, minerality and structure. Orchard fruit, ginger, spice, menthol, chamomile, crushed rocks and tropical accents give the Tesson an exotic flair to play off its dynamic personality. Readers will find a Meursault of uncommon texture and pedigree. Incidentally, a recent magnum of the 1992 was positively stellar. (Tasted by Antonio Galloni) |

Guy Roulot Meursault Luchets 2022 epitomises the refined elegance of Burgundy’s esteemed terroirs. Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes cultivated in the prestigious Luchets vineyard in Meursault, this vintage showcases Guy Roulot’s unwavering commitment to quality and expression of place.
