"The estate's flagship wine"

"Ample aroma of apple skin. Excellent piquant acidity that is far from unattractive! Quite unusual but very enjoyable. Not particularly long but clean and satisfying. I think I should score this wine 16.5 to draw attention to its distinctive character. Almost spritzy. I really like it even though it's not classic. " (Jancis Robinson). The estate's flagship cuvée, "Les Ormes" is made from vines aged between 35 and over 60 years old, located in the commune of Meursault and selected from specific plots. These old vines and this exclusive terroir make it a sublime and highly sought-after white wine. Sublime!

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Born to parents who were winegrowers and coopers, Sylvain Dussort and his wife settled here in 1982 and now cultivate 6.5 hectares of regional and village appellations in Meursault and Chorey-lès-Beaune. Their cultivation methods are opposed to systematic pest control, and their vinification process uses only indigenous yeasts and follows Burgundian tradition, with aging in barrels. Sylvain is also a proponent of the new Bourgogne Côte d'Or appellation, which he has proudly claimed since the 2017 vintage.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 12/30/2021

Slightly woody and spring-like nose. Fresh and light on the palate with a clean texture, aromas of white fruit and understated aging. Curiously, there is a slight sensation of effervescence and citrus bitterness. Short, salty finish, underscored by a hint of verbena. "Baby Meursault"? For that, it would have needed a little more substance, density, and finesse. On this last point, Ph. BOUZEREAU's Côte d'Or is closer, with beautiful depth and a more accomplished harmony. Score = 3.7. Drunk at 10°C with scallops from the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, pan-fried in champagne.
