Les Criots Meursault Chardonnay

Starting its downhill slide. Would have been better 3 years ago.

Light straw yellow in color. Gorgeous, complex nose of pears, toasted almond, baked bread. On the palate this is a knockout. Incredibly flavorful, round and full. Great acidity and a long finish. Beautiful

Beautiful wine- delicate fruit, elegant and complex. Paired fabulously with Langoustine:
Sautéed Langoustine; Truffle and Chanterelle, aged balsamic at Le Bernadin

Unsure this will need much time or develop more but pretty good now. 22 whites are tasty.

Lovely.

Benchmarking. Pop and pour. On the nose: richly-styled lemon custard, toasted hazelnut, lemon oil, crushed rock. On the palate: soft pineapple, hazelnut, loads of crushed rock...electric acidity..just so vibrant and juicy...energetic finish. Very good, if leaning a bit ripe right now.

Matched perfectly with the Japanese -French seafood starters at Kei.

Half bottle with tasting menu at Le Cinq in Paris. Meursault is my favorite white burgundy. Nose was incredible, good length. Rich but balanced. Lemon, wet stone, white peach.

Très bel équilibre !!!!!!
