Absolutely in the zone. Rich orchard fruits, dense and sappy. Plenty of almond butter and light toasty development. Great volume and excellent mineral freshness. Textural, silky and long.

Great colour, tinged with green. The nose is complex, with a whiff of smoke, some almond butter, white peach and something mildly exotic. It is dense and rich, with excellent detail and wonderful acid cut for the vintage. This is just a little bit Cochey and a lot bit good!

Popped ~3-hrs prior to dinner into a Voss bottle. This showed very good minerality as well as depth/body at the same time (probably due to the vintage as well). On a personal basis, I thought it was a good decision to have this served chilled... this helped with maintaining the tension and verve! Very nice!

Langer Abgang. Goldgelb mit grünen Reflexen. Wunderbar im Mund und am Gaumen geschmeidig. Könnte noch etwas salzige sein. Grosser trinkspass. Animierend. Aber keine Gänsehaut

Der Wein brauchte wieder eine gute halbe Stunde Luft um sich zu öffnen. Diese Flasche wirkte reifer als die letzten 2, es fehlte ein klein wenig Frische. Evtl. Ist das Zalto Burgund doch eine halbe Nr. zu groß für diesen Wein!? An sich aber eine runde Sache! Jetzt trinken! 90 - 91 P

Served a bit too cold, this started with white-flower and some citrus notes. We moved on to another pair of whites and allowed this to sit in the glass to warm up. By the time we came back, this had grown a lot bigger - distinct notes of flint, gun-powder. Yellow-fruited, this was rich & buttery on the palate, but had its balance kept in check by just the right amount of acidity. A very nice drink!

Maskuliner als der Wein seiner Schwester. Kraftvoll und elegant zugleich. Angenehm cremig, mit etwas vordergründigen Holzaromen, aber insgesamt gut integriert. Exotische Frucht und deutliche Mineralität.

Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015 (Jade Palace): Wow this was good, punching above its "village" weight. Decanted for about an hour, it displayed notes of white-flowers, lime, mint, and had that extra feel of "creaminess" on the nose. On the palate, it started off being quite a typical Meursault - buttery, rich/dense with enough acidity and minerality keeping it fresh. As it sat in the glass, it developed more clarity, with additional notes of honey, chalks and the minerality becoming more pronounced. Bravo, for a village!

Really drinking well right now. There’s still a big whack of sulphur on the nose but also beautifully pure orchard fruits mixing it up with pungent minerality. It is buttery rich with some nuttiness and a cool rocky, detailed finish. Terrific village wine.

Light citric yellow with hints of green. In the nose, there are ethereal notes of lime and lemon peel, some lemon juice, a bit of elderflower and herbs like Estragon and peppermint as well as - in the background - a bit of red currant. It's a bit restrained. On the palate, this is chalky, slightly phenolic, very dry and has decent minerality. Crushed rocks type of wine. Not too long, but nice lingering in the mouth for a while.

These 09 Boisson-Vadots show their abundant sulphur as a petroleum note, quite pleasant mind you, and this wine has plenty of that smoky minerality. It is ripe and sappy with some honeysuckle and almond cream smells. At its core is cool rock minerality and it ripples through the wine right up to the highly detailed and chiselled finish.

This bottle is ripe and a bit one dimensional yet there was good minerality.

Pnp. Nose is muted. Palate has ripe yellow fruit, nut fruit and salty minerals. It has some coche character. Superb meursault village.
