1438/2630. Red fruit, cherry, sea, grilled meat, fresh floral. The smoothness, perfume and texture…just lovely. 95

1979 Maison Leroy Meursault Les Narvaux
93 points
Intensely honeyed nose with hints of oxidation, yet there is some lively crispiness on the palate with nuanced notes of butterscotch, flower and acidity. Should have been better before its 40 year of age. 93
*Purchased from private cellar. Hope to find one with better provenance as I hear these old Maison Leroy whites can be amazing.

Not nearly as green as the 08 Amoureuses, although a bit muted on the perfume... need much more time.

Not as extract as I expected from Coche so this is interesting style, but still lovely pepper, lemon and clarity. 92

Mature Dujac, tho there are some elements that put the balance off. 91

Lovely Meo style, although the vintage concentration is a bit thin. 92

I suppose I have confirmed I am not quite a fan of new Ponsot.

Underwhelmed for its reputation; need to taste again. The mousse is still nice for its age.

2014 Hospices de Beaune Echezeaux Jean-Luc Bissey

Made by Liger-Belair under C. Marey name and from Magnum. There are some signature linearity and elegance here, which pair quite well with the terroir. Vines should be quite old. 93
