2022 Albert Grivault Meursault 'Clos du Murger' 750Ml Bottle

This is quite a powerhouse of a white for a Villages wine. The ancients decided to build a wall around the site to give extra protection and to signify its greatness. We can see why. The vines, planted in 1971, are now fully mature.

“The 2022 Clos de Murger is done in classic Meursault style with more weight than the Bourgogne from the same site, ripe apple fruit with hints of butter and hazelnut, and a lovely density. However, there is nothing overdone — the wine retains a balancing acidity, the use of new casks is very judicious (less than 10%), and the reductive handling (no batonnage) delivers a wine of elegance and finesse. The grapes are from the 2.58 hectares of vines in the village behind the family house.” 93 points – Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
