January 30, 2022 - Served alongside Perrieres and Charmes from same vintage, this was least impressive as is often the case. But still fresh and lively for a 09. It had a quiet nose and a pomelo/citrus quality on the palate. Broadened and softened with some air.

August 2, 2021 - Medium nose with notes of lemon, creamy, flora, toast. Medium+ acidity with long finish. On the palate, it's balanced and rounded. Overall, a nice Meursault white. Drinking well now.

Pale. Very fresh and focus, complex white and yellow fruits, saline and touch of flint. With time the passion fruits sorbet note emerged that to me is truly captivating and I absolutely adore.
Silky fine yet with immense grip on the palate. Good length if not too persistent with light sweetness and excellent rounded minerality at the back. A classy wine that has real depth and complexity. A great performance as a 2009. -

March 17, 2019 - Very distinctively 2009, so not the right match for beurre blanc sauce with rockfish, too assertive in its astringency. Perhaps a 2008 or 2011 would have better complemented. Still, a good wine!
