On the leaner, more minerally side of the Meursault spectrum. Nose has a nice amalgam of light toast, butter, lemon-lime drizzled earthy, stony scents, and barely ripe pear. Intense and uncompromising in the mouth. There’s some fruit, but it’s more stony minerals and lemon oil, with smoky straw at the close. Will age a few more years for sure.

Some of these 15 white Burgs are drinking awfully good now. Lovely nose. Hit of Meursault butter and a big hit of minerals. Palate has terrific tension and richness but also really impactful minerality. Great freshness from the intense minerality. Vibrant and wonderfully pure. Dazzling showing. Great wine. Long finish. Explosive.

Very nice acidity and minerality. Good juiciness. Not at all Heavy. At times over the evening this was a Rock star. At time the last stages of integrating oak peeked over the edge of the bed. Needs another 12 months and should be somewhere between very good and awesome. Pretty impressive for village meursault. Bought from Fass Selections.
