A lovely fresh dynamic nose. Lemons, oyster shells, chalk. This is vital, poised and pure. Very good.

Very bright, sharp and dynamic. A lovely chalky and crisp front then long and clear. Hints of lemon. Very good.

Citrus rind, brisk minerality, chalkiness at first. Peach fuzz appears as it opens. More depth in the wine had I given it a chance to open further!

Gorgeous! Ripe Fuji apple, lifted limestone with perfect acidity.

Just the bomb. Brilliant, gorgeous Meursault! Layered and complex. Citrusy. Deft use of wood here. Hard to believe this is a Villages wine!!

Beautiful and ripe with classic Meursault volume and tension. Could use a handful more years, but drinking beautifully today with some air. Enjoy for easily 20 years
