March 24, 2023 - A village level Meursault from a single vineyard of Les Clous, Bouchard owning nearly half of it. Wine in aged for 9 months in oak, 10% new and further aging for few months in steel. Medium lemon colour. Aroma of pears, apple blossom, white peach, wild flowers, hints of honey and flint. Palate is smooth, decently concentrated, salty mineral hints with touch of zestiness at its vibrant acidity.
October 28, 2021 - Wine Society Blind Tasting (Eagle Brook CC): With only three whites in the lineup this was easy to identify as our bottle. Apple and mineral on the nose and palate. Drinking nicely. 90+ pts.
February 19, 2021 - Friday Night Brown Bagger (Eagle Brook Country Club): Pale color. Light color with apple and mineral notes which follow through on the palate. Good balancing acidity. 89-90 pts.
September 7, 2020 - Once again, good as gold. Takes a while to open so be patient. Plenty linear acidity, tension and citrus notes. Good concentration for its level. Day two is much of the same and maybe even better.
July 11, 2020 - toasty and nicely balanced, rich and mature, seems like it has a fair dosage as well
July 11, 2020 - very nice,; good richness and body with lots of fleshy pit fruit, ie peaches.
May 30, 2020 - Saturday hangout (socially distanced) (Chicago, IL): This is a wine that fits the mold of the vintage. The balance of fruit and racy acidity with fairly transparent minerality are all here. On the palate, it is not the most complex example, but there is nonetheless plenty of really good material here. Not the most complex wine, but very much enjoyable now already.
March 20, 2020 - Very nice. Continued to get better as the night went on. Agree with philjrob re tasting note. Great Villages.
December 28, 2019 - Lemon, white nectarine and a hint of honey dew melon on the nose. Mineral, lemon, nectarine, med-high acidity and well balanced. Medium length. v nice
December 2, 2018 - Hellgelb und wässrig im Glas.
Ein voller Korb mit reifen Steinfrüchten in der Nase, Birne, Orange, süße Grapefruit, florale Note, würziges Holz, fein ‚parfümiert‘, schöne Feuerstein-Mineralik.
Am Gaumen frische intensive reife pikante Fruchtaromen, weiße Pfirsich, Aprikose, roter und grüner Apfel, Limone, Mandelblüte, Honig, Vanille, kräuterige Gewürzaromen, butterig, dezente Mineralik. Kräftiger druckvoller Körper, komplex mit Tiefgang, trocken und konzentriert, geschmeidig und elegant
Sehr langer Abgang, Steinobst und stabile Mineralien.
Ein wunderbarer ‚Dorf‘ Meursault, jung mit viel Lagerpotential, für mich heute 90/100.
