Description
The 2020 Meursault from Domaine Tessier is a Chardonnay from the vineyards surrounding the village of Meursault in Burgundy. The grapes for this white wine come from vines over 50 years old. In the glass, it is a brilliant golden yellow. The nose reveals aromas of ripe citrus fruits (mandarins, nectarines), white blossom, roasted hazelnuts, and a delicate buttery note, underscored by a fine mineral depth. On the palate, it impresses with a dense yet elegant structure, lively acidity, and a long, complex finish reminiscent of orange blossom, buttered toast, and a touch of the exotic.
Arnaud Tessier took over the family winery in 2009 after the tragic death of his father at the young age of 21. Together with his wife Catherine, he now manages the approximately 7.5-hectare estate. Arnaud tends to his vines individually and personally by hand with seemingly endless energy; the sheer amount of work he puts into each vine has already earned him a reputation as a minor sensation in the region. The passion and expertise of Arnaud and Catherine Tessier, combined with the yields from six of Meursault's most prestigious vineyards, produce Chardonnays that are unparalleled, even in the Côte-d'Or.
