"Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, mint, sweet citrus fruits, buttery pastry, fresh ginger and almonds, the 2020 Meursault Les Rougeots is medium to full-bodied, deep and satiny, with a textural attack that segues into a racy, concentrated mid-palate that's a touch broader-shouldered and more muscular than Coche's other communal-level bottlings this year. Seamless and complete, it concludes with a long, saline finish."
