August 3, 2018 - Really lovely, mature Meursault. Shockingly light and clear given its age. Lifted, clean nose of marzipan, jasmine, lemon cream, and a whiff of oaky spice. Nice texture and weight, with a little oily richness to go with the clean citrus and almond flavors. In a perfect spot.

November 23, 2016 - Cellared since original release. Still light in color with classic Meursault butteriness in nose and mouth. Elegant and light in mouth with good enough acidity, freshness, and some oiliness of texture. Excellent showing for a 16 year-old village wine and a refutation to those who say that modern white Burgundies can't age. Even so, it's time to drink this one up, and it was even better a few years ago.
Went well with the first Dungeness crab of the season. -

It is full in the mouth with good intensity and a nice line of citrus acidity. There's some honeysuckle and brulee development and it is a wine at its peak.
