2012 Meursault Santenots 1. Cru Marquis d'Angerville

Meursault D'Angerville's 2012 Meursault is gorgeous. Apricot, peach, slate and spices burst from the glass in a deeply expressive, exuberant Meursault endowed with terrific depth. The 2012 is rich, textured and beautifully resonant from the very first taste. 2014+ .

(from a parcel of 30+ year old vines). There is a mildly exotic character to the yellow orchard fruit and acacia blossom scents. The medium-bodied flavors possess both excellent volume and concentration along with plenty of dry extract that imparts a seductive texture and adds to the impression of richness on the lightly saline-inflected finish. This is very pretty and should drink well young but reward a few years in the cellar too. 2016+

Intense aroma of lime and cedar - incisive and definite, quite woody (not oaky). Creamy oak is more evident on the palate. Powerful and mealy on the palate, plenty of oak spice and rounded depth of flavour. The acidity seems relatively soft but the overall effect is fresh and sustained. Drink 2018-2024 .

The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Santenots sports a fine bouquet with attractive scents of lime flower, hints of peach skin and pomegranate seeds. The palate is very well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity. This is well-poised with good weight and a bright, vivacious orange peel and grapefruit-tinged finish that is linear, but long. Very fine. Drink now-2025.
