A little past its prime. Showing some butterscotch and caramel. Definitely a pleasurable experience though!

Grapes from 3 plots bordering Meursault, vines up to 50 years old. Aromas of elegant ripe fruits with slight toasty notes. On the palate rich melon and lemon flavors with vanilla and creamy oak notes surrounded by a great mouthfeel. Lingering ending with fruit adding some mineral freshness. Very nice. Great value.

Feb 10th, 2019Wine made from Meursault vines aging from 15 to over 50 years old, aged in French oak (about 20% new) for 12 months. Deep golden color with aromas of tropical fruit, citrus and floral notes. On the palate melon and lemon flavors with notes of toasty vanilla oak. Good balance and structure, lingering finish ending with mineral character.
