"The 2022 Meursault Rougeots has good weight and presence on the nose, with touches of dried honey/honeycomb, nutmeg and grilled walnut emerging with time. The palate is beautifully balanced with vivid, quite citric fruit. It's quite saline in style with a linear, tensile finish that lingers long in the mouth. There's so much energy coiled up here. Raphael Coche greeted me at the winery just outside Meursault village. Before tasting his 2022s (since, like Olivier Lamy and Domaine Leflaive, they no longer show the wines in barrel), we ventured out into the vines for a brief inspection of his cover crops. As you might expect, Coche is fastidious about which cover crops he uses. He has a machine that “shoots” the seeds exactly 60 mm into the earth, a mixture of different sized bulbs, to make sure that the pedicule can take leaf over the surface." -Neal Martin

"The 2022 Meursault Les Rougeots is beautiful, unfurling in the glass with aromas of pear, confit citrus, freshly baked bread, toasted sesame and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's textural and structured, with lively acids, chalky dry extract and a suave, seamless profile." -William Kelley
