  A private lunch (Restaurant MOS, Amsterdam, NL): Fresh, remarkably tight and energetic for age, hint of reduction, mineral and cool, more firm and vinous than precise or terroir driven, pure and clean though, attractive bitters, good length.

  vertical tasting of 6 vintages plus 2 Meursault (1999 und 2005 same producer) ad wine professionals in amsterdam.
  
  2007: (93) precise, nuts, marzipan, long finish, for me the best, potential to 94
  
  2005: (92) deepness, concentration, good length, nuts, a little bit vanilla, missing the complexity of 2007, for me 3rd rank, at least 10 more years
  
  2003: (90): very ripe, more like a New World Chardonnay, a little bit too broad in the finish, missing the acidity because of the hot year, for me 5th place
  
  2001: (88) for the weakest of the 1er Crus, too sharp acidity, unbalanced and too broad, 8th place
  
  1993: (91), still young and fresh, hardly oxidation signs, nut and honey, concentration, long finish, at his peak, 4th rank
  
  1991: (92), still young, golden coleur, no real difference to 2001 in the same flight, nut, honey, roasted almonds, vibrant acidity, good length, drinkable for another decade, 2nd overall
  
  2005 (Meursault): (90), good concentration and density, very well drinkable at this moment, good acidity, at least 5 more years, not so elegant as the 1er Cru Les Perrieres, 6th place
  
  1999 (Meursault): (89), nice acidity, some kind of broad in the finish, nuts, at his peak, 7th rank
