Pierre Morey Meursault les Tessons 2022 (750ML)

93-94 JM / 92-94 WA / 90-93 BH / 90-92 VM / 17 JR

2022 suits the classic monastic style of Tesson, thinks Anne, as the sunny season has softened the stricter side of this vineyard. Clear pale lemon. A very complete bouquet, with a delicious second wave of fruit, apple and plum together, and a long racy finish. Very fine. A splendid aftertaste, as there was clearly no stress here in this cooler site. Drink from 2028-2035.-Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Wafting from the glass with notes of citrus oil, pear, green apple, white flowers and freshly baked bread, the 2022 Meursault Les Tessons is medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy, with a layered core of fruit, bright acids and a long, minty finish. At this early stage, it's somewhat reminiscent of the domaine's 2017 vintage.-William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Tasting note: A cool, elegant and more floral-suffused nose displays notes of essence of pear, spice and a hint of fennel. I very much like the texture of the succulent and caressing medium weight flavors that exude a refreshing salinity on the balanced and sneaky long bone-dry finale. This sappy effort is relatively powerful and also quite tightly wound, indeed it will need every bit of a decade of realize its full, and considerable, potential. Highly recommended. Outstanding. Top Value.--Allen Meadows, Burghound

The 2022 Meursault Les Tessons comes from shallower soils than the Les Terres Blanches, roots hitting the limestone bedrock after 30 or 40cm. That "calcaire" comes through on the well-defined, minerally nose - not powerful but focused. The palate is well-balanced with a lightly spiced core, veins of stem ginger and lemongrass developing with time in the glass.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Creamy/mealy nose with a touch of clementine, even a hint of blossom. Open and fragrant with a light suggestion of spice. Complex on the nose. On the palate, piercing freshness, almost lean but the fruit is intense enough to balance. Intense and long. -Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson
