93 / 100"Here too the beautifully layered nose is decidedly cool with its more citrus-suffused aromas of green apple, wet stone and crushed fennel. The more refined, if slightly less concentrated, medium weight flavors flash an almost pungent minerality on the beautifully textured, bone-dry and sneaky long finale. This chiseled effort will need at least a few years of cellaring first as it's quite tightly wound today. - 91-93 Points - Allen Meadows"

"The 2022 Meursault Sous Le Dos d'Ane 1er Cru is clean and precise on the nose with hazelnut and light fumé aromas. The bouquet is focused and gains intensity with aeration. The palate is fresh and saline, a little Puligny-like in terms of the green apples towards the brisk, sapid finish. Lovely. - Neal Martin"

Tasting Notes
This is a beautifully crafted wine that reflects both the prestigious terroir of Meursault and the unparalleled expertise of one of Burgundy’s most renowned estates. Biodynamically farmed and meticulously produced, this Premier Cru wine offers layers of ripe citrus, pear, and subtle oak influence, all lifted by fresh acidity and a mineral-driven backbone. The warm 2022 vintage adds depth and concentration to this already elegant wine, making it a perfect candidate for both immediate enjoyment and extended aging. A quintessential Meursault for those seeking finesse and complexity.
