Costco must be having trouble moving through some of their more expensive wines. This particular wine has been at my local Costco for close to a year at a price of 30ish$. Today it was 24.97. I have to admit that this is the first time I've consciously had Meursault. I've had plenty of Chardonnay and plenty of Chablis, but never a Meursault that I can remember. This is a delicate and subtle wine, and it's delicious. There are pure pear aromas, some nuttiness, and a mineral, stony quality (although this wine has nothing on Chablis in that regard) in the nose. In the mouth, the wine is rich, and not nearly as acidic as I expected. It has a lot of pure pear flavors that are ringing as clear as a bell. Nice stony finish. Tasty, interesting, but not blowing my mind. Perhaps if I had more context with Meursault my perception would change? This is miles better than lots of Chardonnay that I've had, but it seems a little simple, and I have had better, more interesting Chardonnay's for less. For the price. B-/B
