March 6, 2024 - A beautifully tingly and complex Meursault with a lighter-body and supreme elegance if lacking a bit of acidity. I tasted it blind and really thought it was 5-10 years older which is typical of my experience with the 2018 vintage. Lovely for current drinking though.

July 31, 2023 - One of the best wines I've had this year (and probably ever). Lots of power and elegance, some reduction, lemon curd, some cream, yellow fruit, elegant use of oak, the whole shebang. I didn't make a detailed note :). The wine was opened maybe 1-2 hours before drinking and showed beautifully.

November 4, 2022 - 2022 Excellent Burgundy Adventure; 10/31/2022-11/6/2022 (Burgundy): Expressive nose displaying bright yellow fruit, candied lemon peel, lemon curd, peach, marzipan, sesame/toasted oak, cream, and crushed rocks. Excellent concentration, nicely layered sweet yellow fruit, rich and oily but also energetic and nicely detailed, bright acidity, strong mineral and a long ripe yellow fruit driven finish with sesame and limestone at the end. I slightly prefer to the 18 Perrieres as I find this to be more harmonious.
