TN: 1969 Meursault 1er Cru

1969 Michel Buisson-Charles: Meursault Bouches-Cheres

I purchased this bottle in Burgundy some time ago. The cork came out in one piece and had done its job well. The clear amber colour was fair for its age. A nutty nose with hints of green herbs and no oxidation. With air, a dash of caramel. The mouthfeel has a medium weight and richness to it. There is some freshness and more nuttiness with a hint of spice following through. With air in the glass, the wine softened and weakened marginally. Perfectly mature, I will drink my remaining bottle in the next 3 years. It paired very well with my poached salmon fillet and green salad.

Nice!

Looks beautiful!

The color is perfect. Thanks for the note Nicos.

Buisson-Charles still makes great wines, now they are made I believe by Michel Buisson’s daughter and her husband Patrick Essa, who used to post a good bit on wine boards. Also, look for their Volnay.

Thank you chaps!

My pleasure Don.
