The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Gouttes d'Or was cropped at 18 hectoliters per hectare and this year comprises of just two one-year-old barrels. It has a light, smoky, slightly earthy bouquet that does not quite reach the level of the Charmes at the moment. The palate is well balanced with orange zest on the entry. There is commendable depth here and it feels powerful, although I prefer the mineral drive of the Les Cras and the Meursault Charmes this year.
