Meursault Madness Dinner

Great dinner with thanks to Mike and Chicago Wine.

  Much tighter than I recall from the spring. So much concentration and amazing length, but tonight the acidity was more pronounced than most else. Patience. Great wine developing here.

  Lean lemon and apple with faint bitter notes on finish. Needs so cellar time to soften?

  Rich apple and pear with toasted hazelnut, this is fleshy and buttery with faint tropical hints. Vibrant on long-ish finish. Good+ now, better yet in another year or two.

  Very reductive, which never seemed to go away.

  Floral to start. A rich sense of baked apple and almond butter at first on palate, then finishing well structured and nearly taut. Upside from here.

  Rich and fun with good balance, maybe simpler than the other wines in this flight. Others liked this even more tonight.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

  From magnum. Ripe and fleshy, this came across as fun and easy, but then lingered on a brighter finish. Very good now, but there is enough subtle structure that this will drink well through the decade.

• 2016 Domaine Leflaive Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Âne

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

  Slightly reductive and slightly awkward/ backward tonight. Very good density, but an odd showing tonight.

• 2021 Jean-Philippe Fichet Meursault Le Tesson 91 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

  Coiled and powerful, this showcases lemon and candied lemon peel with almond butter throughout, ending with a long-ish expanding finish. Needs at least 2 or 3 more years in the cellar. My WOTF, but most others disagreed.

• 2019 Arnaud Ente Meursault 93 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

  Ripe from the start without any sense of anything flabby. Broad cross-section of fruits, ranging from peach through pear through Meyer lemon with near Grand Cru density. A great Village level wine, just entering its peak drinking window. My WOTN.

• 2017 Domaine Roulot Meursault Les Vireuils 92 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

  Faintly reductive start, wonderfully bright all the way through. Good weight, very good+ length for its level. Very good now. I liked this more than most tasters tonight.

• 2016 Coche-Dury Meursault 92 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

  Ripe and nearly tropical with some tasters even finding banana notes. Enough structure easily keeps this upright now, but this isn't a vintage to lose in the back of the cellar.

• 2015 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre 92 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

  Dense, ripe, and fleshy with enchanting perfume. Structure is just off-center, perfectly in the near background. Very good now. Best ever for this wine, this was WOTN for half of tonight's tasters.
