A cartoonish level of reduction just dominates this wine. There's actually a very nice wine lurking underneath, with a good deal of richness and minerality, but it's under a massive blanket of savory cooked onion. Really off-putting on the nose. Hopefully this is bottle variation, because this was a totally different experience from a bottle I had a couple years back.

Flint and some light reduction. Lemons, apple and grapefruit. Oyster shells and popcorn. High line of acidity and some tension. Just a baby that will grow in time. Happy drinking

Under Diam cork and was surprisingly fresh and lively, still needing 30-45 minutes to really open up.
Quite good and showing a lot of Meursault typicity, but doesn't really go all that far past that, so, in that sense, it is what you should expect from a village level wine. That probably makes it sound worse than it actually is, but it is a rather foursquare wine that probably suffers only in comparison to the heights that great White Burgundy can hit.
With the somewhat limited complexity, I don't see this evolving into anything other than what it is, but I didn't get any sense that this was headed for a quick decline, so it should have a handful of good years left in it.

Nose of peach, strawberries, with some pear and lemon peel Good buttery mid-palette strength, intense minerality at the side of the tounge Did not rate for my limited Burgundian exposure
