Lemon. Green apple. Tart. Acidic. Somewhat flat / lacks elegance.

Punches way above it’s cost. Acid is Chablis like and could even pass as one.

Starting to enter another phase in it's development, some aged burgundy characteristics starting to emerge.

Meursault village ringer just barely lighter-bodied. Impressive!

Light lemon yellow . Nice yellow fruits , lemon peel , white flowers . On the palate a bit more extract than expected , yellow fruits , pretty good bracing acidity , slightly mineral saline notes on the finish . Will probably improve for a couple of years at least , a pretty decent Bourgogne Blanc with a bit more structure than expected .
