    September 29, 2023 - A pale golden yellow hue. This was in a perfect spot. Very fresh, but with some development. On the nose, this was classical with fresh citrus notes, citrus oil, hazelnut and white fruits. Also some tropical/yellow fruit notes as it warmed up and opened with air. The palate has a lovely sense of citrus driven intensity and weight, but without any heaviness. Viscous with lots of dry extract on the midpalate. No sense of Premox. Very fresh still and balanced. Ripe white orchard fruit, citrus, and stoney acidity that gives the wine lift. Layered complexity on the back palate. This is at a perfect stage of maturity for my palate, but has lots of energy and is still drinking quite young. A long life ahead for those that want to weight. Long, citrus and honeyed finish.

    May 27, 2023 - 2nd of 6, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, essentially unchanged from November's bottle noted in detail, apple and citrus to the fore almost too much citrus, more nuance in final glass, needs time, much upside if no pox, 15 years on this showing. F+ (18).

    May 25, 2023 - Richebourg and Meursault: PnP. So very good. Bright minerality, orchard fruits and floral notes with acid all in balance. A nice depth of layered complexity. White of the night for me.

    March 25, 2023 - Powerful, viscous, thick, intense. Decent acidity. Makes a statement for sure. Not tired but a bit more freshness would be desirable. Even the greatest Meursault have a life span and 13 is about it.

    November 5, 2022 - 1st of 6, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level - pale but unctuous, ie v leggy, youthful; orchard fruit, burnt butter, saline, very lemony almost too much, some honeysuckle, ok complexity, little minerality; medium, long, very persistent and concentrated but not oily like the 05s perhaps because of the slightly overwhelming citric component, not particularly layered as yet, needs to round out as I believe it will over the next 5 years, upside and 10+ years if no pox (Lafon is one of the worst offenders!!!!), probably worth risking another year or two before looking again. For now F+ (18).
