2019 Meursault Clos du Cromin Domaine Bachelet-Monnot

The domaine’s only Meursault bottling contains some of the oldest vines they have, planted in or around 1927. Fine pure clear lemon and lime. The nose is undoubtedly richer, with some lighter peachy notes. Fairly rich, but prettily balanced, with some length

The 2019 Meursault Clos du Cromin is very detailed and perfumed on the nose, touches of yellow stoned fruit, apricot and orange blossom, just a hint of almond breaks through. The palate is well defined with a fine bead of acidity, saline in the mouth with a Puligny-like verticality on the finish. Good potential and punching Premier Cru quality.

Ripe notes of hazelnut, white orchard fruit compote and a hint of passion fruit lead to voluminous and very rich medium-bodied flavors that possess a seductive mouthfeel, all wrapped in a moderately firm and youthfully austere finale. Once again, this fine effort boxes above its weight and is recommended. (89-92)/2025+
