Slightly deeper colour than expected; lovely nose, open and attractive, floral, peach, minerals, very subtle oak; supple and juicy palate, rounder than expected initially, well-judged but present oak, steely acidity at lower temperatures; good length. Attractive, lovely style.

Again a slightly deeper colour than expected; lovely nose, open, nice and mealy, hint of peach, toasty, good Meursault typicity; the palate is round and supple, youthful acidity, slightly more rustic than the Puligny Levrons, but better oak integration at present than the Puligny; savoury finish, good length.

Strangely evolved colour, fullish yellow; slightly hollow nose, flowers and herbs but lacks fruit; slightly dull on the palate, lacks definition and precision. Nice enough but not exciting.

A blend of Les Clous and Les Crotots, hence Clousots. Fresh and elegant style, much more refined than the Tillets, slender and compact, still a bit closed, slightly salty minerality, perfectly integrated oak, playful, tightly wound, almost Riesling-like finesse, a lovely wine but needs a few years. Pure but lacks some weight in the Meursault context.

A blend of Les Casses-Têtes and Les Murgers de Monthélie. Lovely colour, pale but intense; complete and harmonious nose, deep, floral top notes, slightly toasty but otherwise no noticeable oak; energetic and balanced palate, fresh and mineral, complete, bright acidity, perfectly integrated oak, interesting nuance; very good length.

Medium colour, cherry red, purple rim; very pure and precise nose, fragrant and attractive, spiced peach, slightly toasty oak, violets, roses from the stalks; flowing and elegant palate, less powerful and majestic than the recently tasted Clos Vougeot 2012 but more silky and refined, beautifully integrated tannins, excellent balance; very good length.
