When it comes to rigorously composed and relatively affordable white Burgundies, Tessier has become an essential go-to.
Tessier makes sculpted and tension-filled Meursaults that have a captivating intensity. They serve as a great example of wines where terroir-soaked honesty can offer seemingly endless fascination in the glass.
A few years ago, a friend poured me a glass of Arnaud Tessier's Meursault AC, and I was immediately intrigued. I've been buying the domaine's wines ever since. With each vintage, the wines have grown more precise while always gaining more depth.
Arnaud and Catherine Tessier's approach is simple. They have great sites that they farm with incredible care. The results are astounding.
In August, we offer Tessier's 2022 Meursault 1er Les Charmes Dessus, which quickly sold out.
Today, we're happy to offer Tessier's 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Le Poruzot Dessus.
The 1er Cru Poruzot is an east-facing vineyard with deep clay soils. The site produces lavish, layered, and deeply structured wines. The power and richness of Poruzot find their perfect match in Tessier's style.
Tessier's 2022 Poruzot is finely etched and tension-filled with ample power and depth. It has an incredibly dynamic architecture, pulling muscle and verve into a seamless and nuanced whole.
It's really exciting to see a producer with such a feel for terroir. I'm very happy to be able to offer this.
