Medium lemon colour. Medium and developing nose with ripe green apples, ripe lemon, white peach, flint, butter, elegantly charred wood, roasted hazelnuts, white flower and wet stone. Medium taste of ripe green apples, ripe lemon, white peach, flint, butter, elegantly charred wood, roasted hazelnuts, caramelized walnuts and wet stone. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good and classical Meursault with great complexity. Needed an hour of air to open. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Goes well with cheeses, fish or shellfish.

375ml. Rich, honeyed with butterscotch, tropical fruit, and roasted nuts. Gains focus and energy with aeration. More representative of how I envisioned it to be but probably best to drink up.

Le 1er soir en PNP, c’était un 88: lourd et pataud. Bouchon remis et oublié en cave pendant 3 jours: le 4e soir, c’est nettement meilleur, ouvert, équilibré, typé Meursault sans note oxydative. Leçon: il a clairement besoin d’air à ce stade.

Surprisingly advanced with a rich deep gold colour and lots of tertiary. May just be this bottle, which is a 375ml half. On the nose, shortbread, vanilla biscuit, hazelnuts, with a line of crystalline pears and orchard fruit. Broad, rich and a little toasty in the mouth. Faded acidity and a bit cloying. Considering the vintage, not one to hold further.

Served chilled to accompany seared tuna steaks. Pale gold color. Scents of pure grapefruit and apple core on the nose cut with acacia. Layers of white peach and tart citrus on the palate with granny apple thrown in. Spiny acidity contributing to a moderately long finish of grapefruit and white stone. Nicely done. KOA West Glacier. Half bottle.

This has the makings of a nice Meursault but I"m not ready to give a score yet. After a few hours it started to show some white flowers and fruit, but still pretty tight.

Unlike the bottle of 4/20/21 the palate showed a bit of resinous wood on opening, which quickly blew off. Otherwise the palate revealed the same combination of grapefruit, tart apple, stone, and a bit of cream. Paired with scallops. From a 375. Holbrook, AZ.

Pale gold. Nose of hyacinth, schist, lime peel. On the palate, quenching and enlivened citrus, white pear, peach, apple, and white stone. Excellent acidity and dry backbone. Long finish of grapefruit, apple core, and a hint of creaminess. Excellent with scallops. Half bottle.

Usually a Reliable Meursault: Tropical fruit, grapefruit, toast, apricot, soft vanilla, medium round, a tad too bitter compared to other vintages I drank. Perhaps an off bottle? Drank from a 375 ml

Excellent
I didn't find this heavy like some other tasters. Solid Meursault over two nights and a nice buy under $50 USD.

Beau Meursault sur les fruits blancs, assez droit avec une belle rondeur et une texture de bouche agréable, très bien.
Nice Meursault with good balance between the acidity and a slight roundness, nice texture too, very nice. 91-92

Recent 375ml was quite advanced, unfortunately.

Wow. This is just lovely but is still young. I’ll wait at least 5 more years.
Nose: sweet lemon.
Palete: creamy. Full bodied. Stone fruit. Lemon. Mineral.
