The 2019 Meursault Sous le Dos l’Ane 1er Cru has a very Puligny-like bouquet, well defined, quite poised with traces of yellow plum and apricot, very pretty. The palate is quite edgy on the opening. There is a small reduction at play here, but fine weight and concentration with a tensile, stem ginger-tinged finish that is very satisfying. Maybe not long-term, but utterly delicious. Closure: Diam 30
Tasting note: Subtle but easily perceptible wood frames the mostly white orchard fruit aromas that are trimmed in floral and ripe citrus nuances. The beautifully sleek, intense and overtly stony medium weight flavors display a refreshing salinity on the bone-dry, focused and beautifully persistent finish. This firm effort should amply reward a decade plus of cellaring. Outstanding. --Allen Meadows, Burghound
The 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Ane is also a touch reductive out of the gates, unwinding to reveal aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, hazelnuts, dried white flowers and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with lively acids and a long, saline finish, it's a seamless, elegant wine from a parcel located just above Pierre Morey's Meursault Perrières. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
