2019 Domaine du Chateau de Meursault Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes-Dessus
4/24/2024 - BurgundySimon Likes this wine: 93 Points
Nose: Butter, stone fruit and some flinty minerals.
Palate: Stone fruit, lemon rind, hint of tropical fruit, flinty minerals and butter. Medium plus acidity and long almond finish.
It feels on the classical side in terms of wood usage, the butter and mouthfeel are quite full. But it has some great acidity to keep it in check. There is some nice flinty minerality as well, but it is still on the lighter side not reductive. Enjoyable and complex wine no complaints here.

2016 Lucien Le Moine Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Épenots
4/24/2024 - BurgundySimon Likes this wine: 94 Points
Nose: berries, cherry, oak and earthy note.
Palate: Cherry, dark berries, strawberry, toasted oak, a touch of vanilla, earthy notes with some mushroom. Medium ripe tannins. Medium plus acidity and a long lingering finish.
Lots of light fruit to be found and a nice splash of oak. There are already some nice tertiary aromas starting to form. Although already very enjoyable, I would prefer it to develop a bit further. One of my friends found it to be just the right amount of Tertiary aromas. Really nice complexity and length. Great wine that punches above its appellation, you're better off spending your money on this than a GC from an average producer.

2017 Hardys Chardonnay Eileen Hardy
4/21/2024 - BurgundySimon Likes this wine: 92 Points
Nose: Vanilla, butter and small amount of flint.
Palate: Vanilla, butter, citrus, almonds, melon and nice minerality. Medium plus acidity and long finish.
A big and oaky Chardonnay, but it has enough acidity and citrus to add complexity and enjoyment to it. A bitt of a guilty pleasure wine for me. We finished it rather quickly. Drinking great now.
