  • 2007 Buisson-Charles Meursault 1er Cru Gouttes d’Or - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru (11/27/2014)
    Rich, dense and broad shouldered. If you read books about what Meursault is like this is text book stuff… slightly exotic, ripe, heady and powerful. It smells of almond butter and truffled honey. It is generous and giving but not advanced. It just manages to push the flavour boundaries without getting heavy and there is a gentle suggestion of minerality to the finish.

Yes they certainly are consistent in style and do age well, but the wines demand food.

Oh, boy, this sounds good. I now have a good source for this producer’s wines, and you have convinced me that I should be handling them. Off to chase down the 2012s. Thanks, Jeremy. [cheers.gif]

Patrick Essa is a real passionate guy who pretty active on social media (web forums, twitter, etc.). He recently published a series of article (or more of a book online) on Burgundy. Here’s the link → Encyclopédie: Sommaire Général - Patrick Essa : Pour une Encyclopédie des vins de Bourgogne

I love their wines, especially this bottling. Gouttes d’Or is one of my favorite white sites in all of Burgundy too.
