In such a potentially blockbuster vintage, it was probably difficult for Drouhin to produce his normally restrained, understated style of burgundy. In some of his offerings, the intensity, opulence, and luxurious fruit of the vintage comes through, while in others, those characteristics are muted and subtle. The three Meursaults exhibited good ripeness, plenty of tasty, opulent fruit, and enough acidity to provide lift and freshness. Bearing in mind the low yields the Meursault appellation benefitted from in 1989, these wines did not appear to be as powerful as many of their peers. However, they do exhibit the Drouhin touch of elegance and finesse. I would opt for drinking them over the next 5-7 years. The 1989 Meursault-Perrieres is the most elegant, and the 1989 Meursault-Charmes the fullest and ripest.
