Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Goutte d'Or is very attractive, delivering aromas of honeyed pears, orange zest and subtle hints of more exotic fruits, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate with a sweet core of fruit, succulent acids and a long, saline finish.
