The good people at Single Vineyard Sellers have been decanting a selection of premium imports from their portfolio into Coravin-branded sealed mini bottles, which I’m totally ok with. It sounds like first-world problem, but I’d rather taste a glass and not waste the rest of the bottle (which I usually do). These Coravin bottles have typically looked quite pristine too (bar one).
Anyway, this Nuiton-Beaunoy Meursault Blanc 2022 is basic, village-level Burgundy but feels clean and regional. There’s a bot of hessian old oak on the nose, flushes of cream and a bit of sulphides, but still shy. Clean, lean, gently peachy but mainly savoury, with a subtle vanilla caramel icecream richness here that brings you in. Maybe not profound – it ends up a bit citrussy and one-toned – but a pretty nice slice of Burgundy.
