  Color: medium gold with copper
  Nose: citrusy with lemon zest, lime, a bit of pomelo. There is a little oxidized copper. A hint of cream and vanilla, very much on the background, and oxidized yellow apple. There are vague reverberations of things like seaweed, struck match, wet stone, cooked ricotta
  Palate: medium-high acidity, medium body with a pretty lean mid palate. In balance and at the right spot to drink.
  Finish: medium with a bit of bitterness
  
  Good meursault villages in a good spot. It is lean and oxidative in a way I didn't expect, but worked fantastically with crab. Each half hour of air makes it better three hours out. Solid and definitely ready. Room temp recommended (in winter), loves air

  Lemon, orange and apple flavors with a bit of stone. Ripe and silky, but still fresh and lively. A nice village Meursault that is in its maturity zone.
