Palate has started to flesh out a bit, but still lots of leaner yellow fruit and mineral. Really great!

As lovely as a I recall when I was first mesmerized by this wine. Saline, citrus, tons of minerality and well integrated oak fuse together nicely to bring an elegant and pure expression of Meursault.

Textbook Meursault. Rich w/ lots of oaky nuances. Concentrated but still able to float on the palate. Great balance

Rich and oaky with nice acidity and darling precision. Young but so much promise. Juicy and long and with mineral well integrated. Terrific.

Nice. Glad to have caught this. Not profound. Have I overestimated the potential of this vintage? Seemed to skew advanced on the nose but no shortage of acid on the palate. Was fine and decadent but would’ve preferred something more tense and structured at this age.
