April 27, 2024 - Initially on Day 1 it showed reduction and was not very expressive, almost harsh with poor mid and back palate. Day 2 under argon it filled out and is much better; typical Meursault notes. Round, not really focused yet but on the way.
If drinking now probably an hour or two decant would do wonders. Overall a well made wine opened too early. Think this has years to go and will be quite good down the road. -

May 25, 2023 - Excellent Meursault. Needs a little bit to open up still a bit young. Oak, vanilla, orchard fruit. Overall well balanced lacks a bit of acidity but think it’s a quality white burgundy.

calypse Does not like this wine: 84 points
February 28, 2023 - Ich schließe mich den sehr positiven und teils überschwänglichen Bewertungen nicht an. Ja, dieser Meursault ist komplex und vielschichtig, hält auch lange an. Aber der Abgang ist viel zu brandig und alkoholisch. Die 14,5% vol. gehen einfach nicht spurlos vorüber, wie auch. Für mich enttäuschend!
Dreimal verkostet, zu unterschiedlichen Temperaturen, mit und ohne Luft. -
