Magic in Meursault:
2022 Anne Boisson Meursault Sous la Velle

"This seemingly always boxes above its weight and it has done so again in 2022."
-2022 Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre

Lafon's 2022s are beautiful. They combine power and a suave joyfulness with painstaking rigor and tension.

"This is classic Porusots in that it's very much built-to-age"
2021 Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Les Porusots

Lafon's 2021 is a wine of dazzling force and verve. The intricacy of its architecture is amazing. It's rare to find a wine working on this breadth and scale that's this poised, detailed, and lifted.

"The sleek and almost painfully intense"
2020 Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières

Lafon's 2020s are no joke. I was very excited to have landed a small parcel of the Genevrières. From release, this has been a brilliant bottle. 

Memorial Day Sale Wine #7:
2020 Pierre Morey Meursault Les Tessons

This is one of the white Burgundies that cruises under the radar.

In Peak Form Lafon Meursault, Montrachet, Volnay & More

On nearly a weekly basis, I'm blown away by a bottle of Lafon.

"This is excellent" -Lowest Price:
2022 Ballot-Millot Meursault

This bottle punches well above its weight class. It boasts undeniable energy and detail without sacrificing richness. In any vintage, there's impressive drive and presence.

"I was knocked out by the quality"
2022 Roulot Meursault Villages

Jean-Marc Roulot is one of the masters of white Burgundy, and his 2022s are some of the most exciting wines that we've seen from him in years. 

A Perfect Match - Burgundy Go-To:
2022 Tessier Meursault 1er Cru Le Poruzot Dessus

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 Master At Work:
2022 Dominique Lafon Meursault Les Narvaux

The 2022 epitomizes what makes the wine stand out in a lineup.  There's a radiance and polished minerality that's thrilling. The wine packs so much intensity into a relatively lithe frame and it's delivered with breathtaking agility. 

Utter Brilliance:
2014 Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes

Lafon's 2014s were so impressive that they were impossible not to notice.

If it wasn't already obvious that things were starting to click into high gear at this Meursault benchmark, the 2014 drove this point home unequivocally. 

Meursault Charmes At Its Best:
2022 Tessier Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes Dessus

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. 

Today, I'm happy to present a stunning example of their work, the 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes Dessus. 

"This beauty is textbook."
2021 Ballot Millot Meursault 1er Perrières

We've been huge fans of Ballot Millot in recent vintages, but their 2021s are mind-blowing. This is a dynamite bottle of white Burgundy.

White Burgundy Dynamite:
2014 Coche-Dury Meursault

Coche-Dury's Meursault may very well be the greatest village wine on earth. There are Grand Crus that it puts to shame.

Cult Burgundy Brilliance: 2020 Anne Boisson Meursault Chevalières

Chevalières is a tension-filled, elegant, and incredibly precise white Burgundy. It has no trouble competing with the top 1er Crus.

"This is also very good for its level" -2021 Ballot-Millot Meursault

The 2021 Meursault is very impressive. It's lifted and rich with a tactile minerality. Stylistically, Ballot-Millot falls between the reductive style of Coche and Roulot and the voluptuous, oily style of old-school Meursault producers.

Magic in Meursault
2018 Pierre Boisson Grands Charrons

The Boisson family makes Meursault exactly as we like it: intensely mineral, nervy, and with perfectly-judged richness. 

The Grands Charrons is always one of the high points of the lineup. 

"This is lovely" - Burghound
2018 Lafon Meursault

"This is excellent" -Burghound
2017 Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre

Lafon has never been better. Along with Roulot and Coche-Dury, Lafon is the standard-bearer of Meursault. His 2017s show this benchmark in top form.

At The Height Of His Powers:
2017 Lafon Meursault Clos de la Baronne

You'd have to look towards Coche and Roulot. In recent vintages, it's become clear that Lafon is at the top of his game.

Meursault Secret - Vines Planted in 1918:
2017 Fichet Meursault Les Gruyaches

Burgundy is full of quirky overachieving wines that cruise under-the-radar. Fichet's Gruyaches is one of them.

"Lovely and built-to-age"
2017 Germain Meursault 1er Cru Charmes

Germain's 2017 collection is brilliant.

Today, we're happy to offer one of the top wines of the collection, the Meursault 1er Cru Charmes. 

"Chiseled and energetic"
2017 Henri Germain Meursault

Henri Germain's Meursaults may cruise under the radar, but they are some of the most exciting examples of the appellation.

"This is excellent"
- 2017 Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Les Porusots

Lafon's 2017 Porusots is epic.

The wine is a finely etched and tension-filled powerhouse.
