9.7

Huge fruit, complex and lifted, with fruit perfume, hazelnuts, saline, hickory, and flowers. 9.7 nose. Elegant, concentrated, deep, fresh and tense. Super wine. Just insane. Dissipates like the 2014. What a finish: so long, so fine. — a month ago

Tart apple, white flower. Clean, crisp limestone like finish.

Interesting wine. Definitely not Meursault-like, blind I would have went chassagne. I might be a bit low on the rating, often I need a couple of tries on wines like this that taste different than expectation of location. At Hestia — 4 years ago

Fatter, rounder and less mineral than Hameau de Blagny across the road. Vines are less stressed as they can get water deep down — 7 years ago

A rather well balanced and harmonious Chard -perfection! Citrus and sharpness on a teeter-totter of excellence makes this a go to light hitting Chard. Love at first sip! — 7 years ago

Wow! J'ai recherché la cuvée après avoir entendu Benjamin Leroux en parler dans le podcast de Levi Dalton (I'll drink to that). Il était particulièrement enthousiaste pour ce climat en altitude (pour la Bourgogne, on s'entend), lequel est très majoritairement occupé par des vignes de Chardonnay (Meursault). Selon lui, le réchauffement climatique en fait un terroir idéal pour le pinot. Je dois lui donner raison avec ce 2017. Quel beau vin! Robe translucide et pâle, arômes dégourdis, de fruit, mais aussi de fleurs et de fines épices. En bouche, l'attaque est riche et de bonne concentration. La transition en milieu de bouche amène la fraîcheur et un côté minéral. Cette acidité porte le vin dans une longue finale. Les tanins sont nombreux et fins. Le vin est accessible, mais je crois qu'il a ce qu'il faut pour évoluer harmonieusement. J'ai beaucoup aimé et je le recommande vivement. — 6 years ago

2002/7/16 with katsuo with.m negi ponzu, fried kinu tofu and amazu Yamagata dashi, aji karaage, etc. I have a soft spot for this domaine and this wine I particular, as my wife and I loved it so much back in the mid-2000s - it was bright, juicy and crunchy but with sneaky depth. I cellared a few bottles, of which this was the last - and considering that the domaine was bought in 2007, there haven’t been any more for a long time. The second-to-last bottle was nice, but felt a bit stretched...but that wasn’t the case here. The nose shifted through game, bruised flowers, undergrowth, and cherry syrup fruit. The palate was led by firm acidity, but that crunchy fruit was still there. This really was quite multidimensional, and while it might be hard to imagine it improving much in the aggregate, it still let you dream. Not a bad way to go out. — 4 years ago

Monopole! That one wasn’t in my list. Chalk up another delicious Monopole tasted. The list is long and distinguished, and fun to chase down. The resolution continues almost 10 years later. 100 Wines Kermit tasting. — 7 years ago
