Une dernière bouteille en pleine forme, qui a répondu aux grandes attentes. Nez intriguant. Bouche caressante, semblant presque moelleuse en attaque, bien que le vin soit sec, montrant la plénitude d’un grand Meursault à maturité. La finale paraît modeste à l’ouverture et sans surprise, elle s’allonge ensuite de manière spectaculaire à l’aération, s’étirant sur des notes complexes de pêche confite, de crème brûlée. Concentration idéale, le vin a une énergie de jeunot. Un grand blanc. 95!pts

Has some smoky, mineral reduction to the aroma. It is classic Meursault, rich and heady with notes of almond butter, citrus oil, and sappy orchard fruits. It is full and expansive with good depth and whilst acidity has softened somewhat the wine has good freshness. Length is excellent.

This was unusually evolved for a 9 yr old Meursault. Having tasted this exact wine 3 years earlier, I can attest that it has taken a nosedive that suggests premox.
Will not comment on the flavours as I do not believe this is an indication of how a Goutte d'Or tastes at 9 yrs.
Drink or avoid. 13.5% abv
