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 velvety, while remaining very fresh, with notes of honey and hazelnut. A blend of several plots over 50 years old, the diversity of the terroirs brings complexity and harmony to this remarkable Meursault.

About the estate:
Born to parents who were winemakers and coopers, Sylvain Dussort and his wife settled in the area in 1982 and currently cultivate 6.5 hectares in regional and village appellations in Meursault and Chorey-lès-Beaune. Their farming methods eschew systematic pest control, and their winemaking relies solely on indigenous yeasts, following Burgundian tradition with barrel aging. Sylvain is also an advocate for the new Bourgogne Côte d’Or appellation, which he has proudly used since the 2017 vintage.
