Michel Bouzereau et Fils - Meursault - Les Tessons - White - 2023

Wine:

The 2023 Meursault Les Tessons White is a small-production gem, crafted from just half a hectare of old vines on clay-limestone soils. This prized 4-hectare climat is shared among only eight producers, and the wine stands out for its density and power. Beneath a touch of oak still present at this stage, it reveals striking salinity and vibrant tension. The balance is masterful, with a tight, noble texture and a sapid core. A wine of impressive stature and length, clearly approaching Premier Cru level. Rated 94/100 by the VALAP Selection Committee.
