Revealing aromas of pear, citrus zest, hazelnuts and honeycomb, the 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Santenots is medium to full-bodied, ample and precise, with chalky structure and a saline finish.

Aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, citrus zest and fresh peach, framed by a light touch of youthful reduction, introduce d'Angerville's 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Santenots, a medium to full-bodied, tightly wound wine that was quite reserved when I tasted it. I suspect that, in bottle, it will show all the plenitude that one expects from this site in a warm vintage, but it's also promisingly bright and precise.

Offering up a generous bouquet of pears, citrus zest, honeycomb and nutmeg, the 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Santenots is medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, with a fleshy, open-knit core and ripe balancing acids.

The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Santenots, which incidentally was 90% devastated in 2016, has a crisp, slightly resinous, dried flower bouquet that is well defined, almost Puligny-like in style thanks to its correctness. The palate is well balanced with an attractive creaminess on the entry, lightly honeyed with a clean, slightly viscous finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. For early-drinking pleasure.

The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Santenots has a fragrant bouquet that retains those grilled walnut scents that I picked up on from barrel, though now they are augmented with hints of smoke and even baking powder. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with crisp acidity, touches of crème fraiche, dried pineapple and citrus lemon, moderate weight on the finish but, it lingers nicely in the mouth. Enjoy this over the next 10-15 years.
