Sylvain Dussort - Meursault Vieilles Vignes 2018
15,5/20
Bettane & Desseauve
In its youth, this Meursault evokes ripe grapes, with its vegetal and floral aromas. After a few years of aging, the palate becomes rich and creamy, while remaining very fresh, with notes of honey and hazelnut. A blend of several parcels over 50 years old, the diversity of the terroirs brings complexity and harmony to this astonishing Meursault.

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.
