The 2020 Meursault Les Tillets is excellent, unfurling in the glass with notes of citrus oil, crisp green apple and pastry cream, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny palate built around a racy spine of acidity and concluding with a chalky finish. This old-vine cuvée is well worth seeking out.

The 2019 Meursault Les Tillets mingles aromas of pear and ripe citrus fruit with notes of pastry cream, white flowers and blanched almonds. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with tangy acids and a long, saline finish, it combines plenitude with cut to persuasive effect.

The 2018 Meursault Les Tillets is superb, offering up notes of fresh bread, white flowers, crisp orchard fruit and praline. Medium-bodied, textural and incisive, it's tightly wound and chiseled, with a long, mineral finish. As I've observed before, this cuvée hails from domaine holdings in the heart of the climat, where the soils are poor and old vines suffering from degeneration (on SO4 rootstocks) deliver routinely low yields.

From a parcel of 40-year-old vines that are part of the domaine holdings, the 2017 Meursault Les Tillets reveals notions of crisp green orchard fruit, anise, Meyer lemon and fresh pastry. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly glossy and incisive, with good tension at the core and plenty of chalky dry extract, concluding with a precise finish.

Offering up aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, citrus oil, pastry cream and nutmeg, the 2017 Meursault Les Tillets is medium to full-bodied, racy and tensile, with an elegantly textural attack, excellent depth at the core and a long, mineral finish. This hails from domaine holdings in the heart of the climat, where the soils are poor and vines suffering from degeneration deliver routinely low yields.
