Drunk for lunch of brown shrimp salad. 13% Deep rich dark gold. A nose of butterscotch, ripe cantaloupe melon, butter and walnuts. It is bone dry with hints of almond (with the bitterness), and citrus zest. Only moderate length overall. Still a lovely wine with some complexity.

A lovely mature rich Meursault, this is drinking beautifully with no hints of oxidation. The nose and palate show lemon, and lemon skin, with underlying nutty notes and with a buttery mouthfeel. The finish is dominated by grapefruit notes which I personally find a little distracting, but a great value Burgundy.

Lovely Mersault - nose is relatively restrained for Mersault, but as it opens in the glass you get the richness - preserved lemon, baked apple, nectarine, hints of honey and pistachio, a little butter and some spice. Palate starts with a blast of citrus and yellow fruits and then melows into some nuttiness and minerality, while finishing with a nice caramel note. Acidity and fruit very much in balance. Drinking perfectly now.

Clear, fairly dark yellow, little variation to the rim. Clean nose apple, citrus, hazelnut nose. Rich and full palate, buttery, citrus, quite sweet, lacks an acid backbone. Long finish. Lacks some finesse to make this a really excellent Meursault, but still very good. Probably time to drink up.

A very nondescript chardonnay. Slightly sweet.
