Note: I use a scale on which 85 represents a very good wine.
Although not my style of wine (a bit too lean for me), the wine is well made. Lots of fresh acidity. Softened a bit after sitting for a while. No signs of oxidization. I wish there was just a bit more fruit.

Pretty good and better with air, but overall wasn't crazy about this. Some Meursault typicity in its fleshy stone fruit and white flower notes but lacking a bit of oomph.

This was best between hours 3-4. Medium bodied, good finish, a bit flabby mid way through. No heat. This will continue to develop for Another 5 plus years. Average value.

Austere and nutty upon opening, it really came alive after an hour or two. Light gold in color with aromas of toasted almond, river rock and lemon zest. Bright citrus and stone fruit flavors framed with dried herb, mineral and nutty notes. Richly layered and brightly polished, with a full 45 second finish of spice, herb and citrus. Continued to improve until the end of the bottle. Very nice. Drink/short term hold.

Light, golden color. Citrusy on the nose, a little rubber tire, some creamy sweetness. Soft on the palate. Viscous, lemony, nice acidity. Medium to long finish. Much different than last year. Very smooth, flavors are more integrated, not popping out, but complementing each other. More cohesive and fruitier. Very elegant.

Opened about an hour before drinking with grilled tilapia. Initally, quite a mineral aroma on it, and developed some citrus. Taste is definitely on the citrus side, but has a butter/creaminess flavor that cuts through the acidity. The acidity comes in on the finish in a nice way, though. This was an interesting and enjoyable wine on an unseasonably beautiful March night.

P & P. Light, golden color. Nose of straw, asparagus, slate, cellar floor. On the palate, tannins, acidity, fruit way back - but a bunch of it. Offset by some bitterness. I think this needs more time. Long finish, very nice. Next day, quite a bit better. Smoother, creamier, more fruit and a touch of offsetting acidity. 3rd day, a little more weight on the palate, creamier - almost buttery, but losing some of the minerality and finish. Next bottle should be opened at least a year from now, maybe two. No score (my first Meursault-Blagny).

Opened for about an hour. Straw-gold and very bright in appearance. Aromas of honey cream, lemon/lime, melon, river rock. Bright mineral and citrus/tree fruit notes on the palate, accented by slight almond/vanilla. Nice weight and viscosity, giving full texture but remaining light on its feet. Good acid balance. Finishing with nut and fruit notes of moderate length. Very nice.

My first experience with a Blagny. Very chablis like nose, with strong minerals and lemon notes showing, lemon peel as well. Front and mid palate is fairly basic, with citrus and minerals and a nice round mouth feel. The finish is where the surprise comes, with a honey finish that is a nice juxtaposition to the nose and palate. Very straight forward and discernible.

Degustato presso l'affascinante cuverie di Louis Latour. Buono questo Meursault Blagny che presenta una buona acidità, una discreta sapidità e, come molti Mersault del 2007, una ottima mineralità. Unico difetto è che si sente un filo di alcool. E' da rivedere fra qualche anno, forse cinque o sei, quando si sarà affinato completamnte. Le aspettative sono buone ed il prezzo onesto

Pretty much the same TN as 30 months ago.
Not my fave, but a decent bottle.

Citrus and spice aromas with a spritz of butter. Flavor follows the nose and the finish is long and tart.

Very solid, lean and focused Chard. Apple, lemon, and wet stone. A bit of a change up on a cold winter's evening.

This only gets better with air. See prior review. This held up well and continued to evolve over the course of 5 hours. Good value.

There's fruit somewhere in there, but it's overwhelmed by the brightness of the acidity.

Wine Enthusiast Toast of the Town. Pitted fruit, allspice, and minerals, tasty, not a fan of Meursault.
