No detailed notes taken. Expressive nose with smoke, stems, toast. On the palate fine dark red berries, fine minerality, some stems and toast. Round and harmonious. Fine tannins and acidity. Not too complex but so easy to drink. What is a bit worrying: the wine got weaker and weaker with time and air, lost its fruit and became difficult to enjoy. 93pts at first, later clearly below 90pts.

Tasted at a restaurant in Meursault. Cherry fruit, fresh with herbal complexities, almost minty elements even. On the palate a bit of heat, wobbly balance. This actually started decently and promising, but with increasing temperature this completely fell apart. This was decanted for <1h which with hindsight was a bad choice. Suspect a bottle issue as had this earlier in the year at the same place and that bottle was flawless.

Tasted during a visit to Meursault. Red berry, sour cherry with hints of plum. Earthy with notes of cigar box and meaty elements. Sweet oaky notes. So far so impressive. The palate then boasts impeccable balance, a satin texture, fresh acidity and a long, leathery finale. Had no idea this was possible in Monthélie.

Lovely from the get go with Vosne like aromas. Gotta love the elegance and silkiness. Improved with more time in glass on the palate. Proves that the best producers can make very respectable wines even if it’s not the domaines forte. Personally I thought it showed much better than the Mouton ‘99 alongside.
