  Opened at L'Envol in HK. Slow-oxed for a short while before being served blind.
  
  Was slightly muted upon first pour, but really came into its own with some air. Very fresh and precise, but didn't have some of the flinty, matchstick notes that you'd expect from a producer like Coche. Not flabby, but buttery and very well balanced, hence pointing to Meursault rather than CM or PM.
  
  Guessed 2012 Meursault 1er from Lafon - a bit of a stab in the dark - and was very pleasantly surprised to see the purplish/blue wax of Arnaud Ente being revealed as we pulled this from the blind bag. What a treat and a real pleasure to drink. This got more and more buttery over time and as it warmed up a little - as J said, 'it's more buttery than the brioche!'.
  
  In a wonderful spot right now, even though it can definitely age for a few more years at least and keep at this level. Thanks to M for sharing, as always!

  Son nez est extraordinaire. Enorme et complexe. Floral, pamplemousse, fumé, minéral, et des notes vertes. En bouche, il est explosif. Très puissant, une attaque très minérale et florale. Un milieu de bouche assez boisé, de fumé, des arômes végétals et un peu de beurre. Une finale interminable.
  Ce vin blanc est tout simplement parfait. Incroyable...

  Again, very nice wine. Less "tipicity" than the previous bottle - took an hour to open up. Very enjoyable Village.

  Snyggt med fin balans mellan krispig citrussyra och rostat smöriga fattoner. Håller säkert ett tiotal år till. Men varför vänta?

  Light golden hue. Powerful tropical/buttery nose. Matchstick. Beautifully balanced apple and pear in mouth, good minerality and persistent length. Outstanding village Meursault. Definitely 1er cru level from pretty much anyone else.
