2021 was a notoriously difficult growing season, yielding a small crop of lighter wines. Pessimists saw fragility and limited ageing potential, while optimists particularly importers framed it as a return to classical Burgundy: fragrant wines with lower alcohol levels.

In this tasting, the reds proved less fragile than expected. The wines were divided into flights by appellation—Beaune, Volnay, Pommard,
Corton, Nuits‑St‑Georges, Vosne‑Romanée (including Grand Cru), Clos Vougeot, Chambolle‑Musigny (including Grand Cru), Morey‑St‑Denis (including Grand Cru), and Gevrey‑Chambertin (including Grand Cru).

Overall, three‑star wines (114) outnumbered four‑star (90), with only four five‑star awards granted. This result was in line with, or slightly ahead of, expectations given the extreme challenges of the 2021growing season. Most wines are nearly ready to drink now and will show best within five years.

✨ We are proud that the 2021 Château de Meursault Pommard Clos des Epenots 1er Cru received an excellent review from Jasper Morris MW:

"A concentrated fresh purple, with plenty of energy on the nose. A clear fresh red berry fruit emerges, with some Griotte cherries, supple fruit, even quite succulent. The Château de Meursault team have managed to get a layer of velvet on to the bone structure. There is a fair amount of new oak to finish but it in no way interferes with the fruit." - 92 points, Jasper Morris MW

Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Les Trois Journaux - "Dark, brooding, spicy aroma, with compote prune and dark berry richness, fine tannins and and oak sweetness. Very promising future." - 91pts

Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes-Dessus - "Enticing nose of vanilla, lemon tart and nougat. The palate is fresh, with stony mineral elements, peach and lemon, and a lovely creaminess. Potential to develop further." - 93pts

Corton Grand Cru Les Maréchaudes - "Multi-faceted aromas and palate, with spice, toast, red fruit and black cherry nuances. Harmonious, with velvety tannins and the structure to age and improve further." - 94pts

Meursault Clos des Grands Charrons Monopole - "Complex nose-ripe , spicy and with hints of oak.The palate is honeyed, with guava, soft garrigue and some nuttiness. Generous and delicious." - 94pts

Meursault 1er Cru Perrières - "Showing golden tinges already, lovely aromas of ripe white peach, vanilla and pain d'epices are enticing. The full, soft palate has stony minerality, good intensity and finely judged acidity. Will improve even further." - 93pts

Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epenots - "Concentrated raspberry nose then a juicy palate of ample weight and ripe tannins. No rusticity or excessive extraction here – an elegant Epenots." - 92pts
