The 2014 Meursault Desirée 1er Cru has a lifted, fresh pear, green apple and quite saline bouquet with good delineation, if not the intensity of others. The palate is well balanced with good acidity, an uncomplicated Desirée with focus, moderate complexity and a pleasing, saline finish. It is a competent Meursault, albeit one without the fireworks or the chutzpah of the premier crus. As such, like the Clos de la Barre, it is a wine to approach in the flush of youth.
