Xavier Monnot Meursault les Chevaliers 2019 (750ML)

91 JM

This is an important cuvée for Xavier Monnot. His 2.5ha holding comes from three sectors, clay at the foot of the slope, a hummock in the middle and plateau at the top – interestingly (to me at any rate) he stirs the lees of the wine from the top of the slope but not the bottom. The blend is a glowing lively primrose colour, a touch of sulphur again. As well as the weight there is a tighter mineral quality, definitely the salinity, great ageing potential, weight and austerity together. Very good tension at the finish. Thoroughly recommended.
