December 28, 2022 - Fresh and mineral driven; green apple and lemon; floral and stony; bordering on lean, but still tasty. Definitely better with food.

April 24, 2021 - Delivering past its price point to a wonderful degree. A baby Meursault, with fruit coming from 2 plots (between 30-70 y/o vines) just east of the AOC. Gorgeous nose of lemon, olive oil, subtle verbena, and a delightful note of orange peel. The palate is herbaceous and steely, with sea-breeze characteristics and, again, the subtle note of orange. Just a beautiful expression of the region. I should've held out longer on this, as further cellaring will only reward.

August 6, 2020 - Supposed insider’s wine as one of the sources is beside the Charmes plot in Meursault. Not showing much unfortunately at this stage - didn’t have anything that pointed towards a burgundy white. Only redeeming factor was a decent finish for a Bourgogne Blanc. Not a fan of 16 whites in general so will seek out another vintage of this.
