January 3, 2022 - An absolutely stunning bottle of Meursault; this encapsulates so much the lost world of white Burgundy that has now mostly been supplanted by wines that use reduction and hyper-high acidity to mask less than great winemaking. This has got to be a clear case of masterful winemaking. The nose is opulent and rich, with lots and lots of mature (but not browning or cidery) apple flavours, as well as a herbal note that might even evoke juniper. Fully mature on the palate, this has an unctuous, almost oily texture that isn't cloying thanks to its acidity. The fruit shows on the attack and midpalate, before fading into a more minerally take on chardonnay. An incredibly complex and fascinating wine.

December 31, 2011 - Still drinking beautifully. Surprisingly good structure for its age --possibly even a few years left.

April 30, 2010 - Wine While Eating Well in Burgundy; 4/26/2010-4/30/2010 (Cote d'Or): Lots of apple with almond butter and mineral textures. Shockingly bright. Long finish.
