Boy, that bottle was on fire. Rich, deep, layered. Just flirting with too much ripeness, this could have easily been mistaken for a village Meursault. Yes, the intensity of 2018 can’t be denied but overall this was a wonderful bottle of white Burgundy.

Very gentle on the nose with sunny lemon-driven fruit, the slightest hint of oak (mostly in the way of nuttiness), cereal and some beeswax. Quite timid, but pleasant and correct. On the palate somewhat on the rich side with notably firm mouthfeel. Akin to the nose the flavors are pretty restrained and it is the texture that mostly stands out. Not oaky at all really then but the richness and volume hints that some was used. Far from showy, this almost feels like it tries not to be friends with you with its pretty neutral fruit expression. That said I find it difficult to not like it as it carries its weight gracefully with pretty considerable powerful underneath and does not feel unbalanced, the least so in the persistent finish that is marked by attractive nutty tones. The 2015 Boisson-Vadot was very easy to love, this is the opposite. If given the choice I would probably go for the former but that is not to say that this is not impressive. Will be interesting to try my other bottle in five years or so.

Deliciuous. Good energy and acidity for the vintage.

An exceptional wine, and definitely a competitive wine in performance even for meursault village.
