Meursault with James Handford (Handford Wines, London): Shows the ripe vintage that 2006 was in a nice way. Felt younger than the 2008 we had just before (Papies 91), brighter wine with good acidity and firm mineral core. Still the fruti is juicier and riper and adds a nice extra layer to the wine. We believe this is to be drunk now. 93

Tasted next to the 2008. Not much on the nose, a bit of ripe fruit and minerality. On the palate open and expressive. Smooth, fresh and mineral. Ripe fruit, but also good acidity. Nice weight and length. Drink. 90-92

Very nice showing of one of my favorite white wine plots. Elegant nose of oak, citrus, vanilla, flowers. Creamy rich palate that stays fresh balanced.
