  Bright lemon, superb minerality. Pure elegance. Elegance is not a word I have used with Meursault. Richness, sure. So perfectly light on its feet. No sign of its endgame. So wonderful there is no reason to wait for anything different. Meursault at its best.

  Great balance of steely minerality and richness. Great textbook meursault.

  This is singing but still has the structure to keep going. One picks up an array of traditional Meursault notes with sea shells, jonogold apple, lime cordial, some salt, and freshly churned butter. The palate is vibrantly deep and complex with terrific verve. Here one gets more of that vervy acidity than generous fruit the nose implies. Clearly just beginning to come out of its shell as this is still structured for the Long haul. Excellent.

  2 hr decant, nose is of oak and lemon with significan esters showing; palate is honeyed and full of mellow nuts/lemon and oak. Shame to have opened this at this point, much better down the road but still a nice experience. Could have been much better if the oak was showing less, but time should help

  Ripe candied oranges and tangerines, with a whiff of Meursault macadamia, an offputting stinky reductive note, and a fair amount of noticeable oak. There's enough acidity but this hasn't quite digested the oak yet. Decent concentration but not the suggestion of Grand Cru power this vineyard can have, with a tannic mineral feel. I'd like this better if it were less oaky and reductive. Doesn't quite show the potential of the site.
