Un Fichet avec l’acidité plus en retrait, du fruit plus jaune que blanc, moins tendu et droit que le style habituel, quand même une belle finesse et élégance. 89-90
Not as tense and crisp as usual, yellow fruit, nice finesse and elegance still yet not as good as usual.

'15 & '16 White Burgundies (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): From a 0.4760 acre monople planted in 1955-1965. "Meix means 'a Close of Trees'. This plot is located in the village, with a W exposure. It is located under the town hall, facing W & sheltered from N winds. This land receives little morning sun but has a concentration of heat in the afternoon because of its orientation. In the bottom of the vyd the soil is generous; while the top is stonier."
N: Butter/vanilla with distinct mushroom notes, poss perfume? Intensity lurking?
P: Med body; Very NICE frt BEAUTIFULLY off-set by an acidity which subtly guides the process into the LONG, tangy/swt finish with an attractive, very, VERY slight bitterness. Approachable now, I suspect additional improvement into mid '19, then drinking through '21 min. STYLISHLY made! My EXC, likely more down the line. 91 pts Decanter, 89-91 Vinous (Galloni), 88-90 Burghound, & 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson. [I did not see another source with which to compare this vendor's $66.95.]

Donné un petit coup de carafe car il était assez fermé au départ. Un nez tout de même discret, la bouche jase plus, frais, minéral et très vif avec une belle rondeur en attaque, bel équilibre mais pas tout a fait en place il me semble même si on voit le potentiel.

Superbe bouteille, belle tension, mineral, fruit pur, salin avec de la rondeur et du volume. 91-92
Superb bottle, fresh, crisp, pure fruit, saline almost yet with some weight and volume, gorgeous.
