Sunday, October 22, 2023 - I’ve written a decent amount on this wine, so as a matter of a check-in here, I’ll reaffirm that this is still a fairly brawny wine and will likely always be a less finessed example of P-M, instead drinking more like a broader swathed C-M or Meursault. Aeration is the key to softening its edges so it doesn’t present like a no-neck wrestler type. Yellow lemony fruit abounds, as does some vanilla, lime and orange zest, quince, and white travertine. Finishes a bit angular but certainly flavorful.
Pair with more formidable dishes (a baked and breaded Mexican chicken with spicy red salsa dish worked well) and treat almost as if it is a heftier white Rhone. Drink now with a decant or hold for another few years.
