Meursault Sous le Dos d'Ane 2017

The 2017 Meursault-Blagny Sous Le Dos d’Ane has quite a dollop of oak on the nose, although it has decent definition; there’s just a touch of reduction to sort out. The palate is well balanced with tangy tangerine and clementine notes, well judged acidity and a dash of white pepper that enlivens the finish. Good persistence in the mouth. This just needs a couple of years to assimilate that wood. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.
