Nicely broad and rich in aromas but kept refined and elegant in the Drouhin style, with fresh apples, crisp pears, minerals and a hint of butter. This has the purity and polish of the appellation and is tempting to drink now. Best after 2027.James Suckling | 94 JSRich, expressive and balanced, with a light texture to its peach, apple, butter and oak spice flavors. The lingering finish echoes oak spice and apple accents. Drink now through 2027. 500 cases imported.Wine Spectator | 91 WSThere is a hint of liqueur-like quality to the aromas of pear and apple compote, hazelnut and a plethora of pretty floral nuances. The succulent and caressing medium-bodied flavors possess a gorgeous mouthfeel that delivers even better depth and persistence on the balanced finish that isn’t quite as dry. This is terrific for its level and strongly recommended.Burghound | 91 BHThe 2022 Meursault Village delivers aromas of honeyed pears, toasted nuts, white flowers and peach, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave palate of impressive length and structure. Like its Puligny counterpart, this will show well young.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 90 RPMade up from 16 different plots. A pale lemon colour. The nose is undemonstrative but one senses the concentration behind. Indeed, the fruit builds to the back of the palate with a little ripe citrus and correct acidity. Fine length, a little more interest than the very capable Puligny. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted: November 2023.Jasper Morris | 89-91 JMThe 2022 Meursault Village was picked from August 22 until September 10, depending on where the fruit is sourced (from 16 batches), though blending only takes place before racking. Following Drouhin’s other whites, I can imagine the nose will have broad appeal, offering touches of white peach and orange pith, more floral than the Puligny Village. The palate is well-balanced with good weight. It’s not complex per se and quite linear towards the finish that needs a little more intricacy.Vinous Media | 88-90 VM
