Clos de la Barre Meursault Chardonnay

Highlights from an epic dinner last night at No. 9 Park, one of my longtime favorite restaurants in America. This wine was slightly too easy to drink. 😜

Precise acidity on the palate but rounds off into a friendly finish. So young yet so elegant.

Bingo! After being open for 2 hours its find its life. Beautiful acid, long finish, and great texture.

Bright, crisp, fresh. Melon, citrus dominated with a good measure of vibrancy.

Beautiful. Framed by a bit of oak. Big and rich as you expected from Lafon.

Atelier joel roubichon 9/17

sealed with a Diam30, it’s fortunately not reductive. Solid Meursault with superb length. Orchard fruits and lemon wrapped around a core of acidity. Needs some time to develop but no crime drinking tonight.

Un vin dont la texture est gouleyante, impressionnante. A besoin d’air pour s’ouvrir . Minéral, fruits tropicaux, mielleuse. Bonne longueur.
