Savory, salty, pear, Fuji apple and some ripe citrus with a light hazelnut toast on the nose, the palate is sharper, good acidity, could use a little more, a med/med+ body, med+ length of the finish. Maybe it's the 13 vintage that lacks just a little energy that 12/14 has. Still very enjoyable at almost 10, has probably another 3-5 years.

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

Lemon and lime peel. Crushed stone. Juicy lemon and lime in the plate too. Long energetic finish. Fantastic!

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.

Might be the best hidden gem of his portfolio. Amazing intensity and purity of fruit. Delicious!
