Lots of crunchy red fruit, Good bones, good potential. Improves with air but not enough for now. Way too young. Hold for 5 years?

Initially on Day 1 it showed reduction and was not very expressive, almost harsh with poor mid and back palate. Day 2 under argon it filled out and is much better; typical Meursault notes. Round, not really focused yet but on the way.

If drinking now probably an hour or two decant would do wonders. Overall a well made wine opened too early. Think this has years to go and will be quite good down the road.

Stood up for a week. Slow ox’d, no decant, for 5 hours. Just spectacularly pure, with perfectly integrated nose and palate showing rose petals, red fruit, tar, leather, mushroom and forest floor.

Continued to open in the glass and evolve, improving along the way without ever getting tired. A truly great wine.

Obviously your palate is craving for silk textures; flavorful; but ethereal ? I'd suggest you try these: la sauce silky style: Domaine Guyon (Not Antonin Guyon) especially Brulees and Ech. la sauce understated: Bruno Clair especially the Beze 2018, Fonteny 2018, Clos St Jacques 2018 la sauce elegant and balanced : everything from Benjamin Leroux. la sauce ethereal: Duroche And the best value found this year: -Galleyrand 2019 Marsannay La combe du pre -Bouvier 2019 gevrey racines du temps and Chambolle Les Fuees. These last 2 guys have reconnected me with pop and simplcity without any overthinking with who I should open bottles, something everyone is facing whenever opening a branded Burg these days.
