A cracking meursault. These scored definitely do it an injustice. Young but just coming into its own, superb qpr and one worth stocking up on as far as I can see (I certainly have).

From my last half-bottle. Nice pale straw yellow colour. On the nose upon opening, pleasant aromas of pears, fresh hazelnuts, faint butter. On the palate, the attack is frank with nicely rounded white fruit, nuts, faint cream and butter. A long finish combining oak and minerality. With a bit more air, a touch of bacon fat and reduction. Very pleasant and a good wine that seems to have emerged from the awkward period it was in at last tasting. This is good and I've always thought I should buy more, so perhaps I will indulge in the 2017 that are currently available. Though pleasant enough for tasting, it is more suited to accompany food due to its body. 90-91

From a half bottle. Pale yellow-straw colour. Very timid nose, mostly of matchstick. Really not much else the first hour. On the palate, the attack is frank, with citrus, matchsticks, and hazelnuts. Good concentration, but could use a touch more acidity. That being said, it seems to be a little closed. I'm not sure I should have aged this, but at this point, it seems a little closed so I should keep the next one till 2021 if I can. 88 at this point.

Nice medium straw yellow colour. On the nose, I am greeted by aromas of nuts, citrus, straw and faint bacon which becomes more discrete as time goes by. New for this tasting is also a nice aroma of spearmint. On the palate, the attack is frank, fruity and oaky. There are the same aromas as on the nose with an added touch of minerals and a nice minty seam. The fruit reached a good level of maturity and is sustained by a nice acidity with a very good length. Stylistically, I prefer the area around Montrachet (Chassagne, Puligny and St-Aubin) for a certain “clarity”, but there is no denying that this Meursault is a good wine. Would be curious to see how it ages, but currently very pleasant. 90-91

Belle robe jaune paille moyenne. Au nez, ce sont les arômes de noisettes, d'agrumes, de paille et de bacon (qui se réduit un peu à l'aération). En bouche, l'attaque est franche, fruitée et boisée. On y trouve les mêmes arômes qu'au nez en plus d'une petite touche minérale. Il y a une bonne maturité du fruit soutenu par une belle acidité et une très bonne longueur. Stylistiquement, je préfère les environs de Chassagne-Montrachet et Puligny-Montrachet pour une certaine "clarté", mais il est indéniable que ce Meursault est un bon vin. Après quelques heures, ça sent l'allumette. Il y a visiblement un peu de souffre. Curieux de savoir comment il mûrirait, mais déjà très agréable aujourd'hui. 91

Last bottle of 12 and best yet. A superb wine and real step up from Village. Great depth and length, with a finish that goes on for almost a minute.

Drinking well now.
Served chilled from fridge. Citrus, minerality with a touch of sweetness on the back. Tasted even better with 3 days in vacuvin.

At first appeared buttery, fat and with a bit too much oak. Half an hour in it found its balance and from then on a delight

Light straw. Nice acidity for a 2015. Approachable now but a few years could help it to improve. Mineral, lemon, pear. Nice wine
