The 2019 Meursault Saint-Christophe unwinds in the glass with aromas of pear, wheat toast, praline and a deft touch of youthful reduction. Medium-bodied, taut and fine-boned, with racy acids and a delicate core of fruit, it concludes with a saline finish. This will unwind with bottle age to reveal more texture and amplitude. As usual, it's a cuvée composed from holdings in Casse-Tête, Petits Charrons and Narvaux du Dessous.

Sourced from Les Petit Charrons and Les Castet, the 2019 Meursault "St. Christophe" has a tightly wound bouquet that lacks flair compared to some of the other Meursaults from de Montille. The palate is well balanced and more expressive, offering tangerine and light grapefruit notes and a touch of ginger toward the finish. Hopefully the aromatics will find their voice by the time of bottling.
