No notes, first time with this producer. Was looking forward to this ‘14 as I have really fell in love with the white burgundy as of late from this vintage. However this wine was a bit leaner and less complex than I look for in my Meursault. Now is that style or vineyard driven or winemaker or grower dependent- no clue. Nice wine just not knocking my socks off but want to try more.

Bernard Boisson-Vadot Les Grands Charrons 2014. Litt småsjenert, likevel rett så pent. Trenger mer tid. Bra munnfølelse. Slank med fin frukt og pirrende friskhet. Ikke noe å si på kvaliteten, men det hele føles litt pakket inn for øyeblikket. God lengde med en skikkelig stram finish. Syre og mineralitet kjennes helt opp til øra. 92p med mer å hente. Der de andre flater litt ut, har denne en stadig stigning - stort potensiale.

nose-floral, tropical, quite lovely, someone said papaya and that seemed very much on point mith - very rich, almost monotonously so. a phat wine, lovely mouthfeel, still young. HOLD.

BYO Litteraturhuset (Litteraturhuset i Oslo): Mørkere gul enn de øvrige i flighten. Aromatisk duft med syltet, søtlig frukt. Kraftig og fyldig i anslaget, varme sitrustoner. Herlig smørpreget og volumiøs smaksprofil. "Større" enn Girardins Perrieres 2014 drukket ved siden av, langt modnere og mindre grasiøs, men så er dette "bare" en villages - men på et høyt nivå.

Succulent, sweet fruit over a chalky mineral base. Quite delicious, but it’s more advanced and less tense than I would have expected.
This is my third bottle recently and each has confirmed my sense that these should be drunk sooner than later. These were bought on release and stored in underground professional storage.
In past vintages, this wine was tight and tense in youth, and required more age to open up. Not the case with ‘14 and I wish I had opened my first bottle a couple years earlier to experience more tension.
I am quite happy to drink, it’s delicious, but it won’t be getting better and I will drink remaining bottles sooner than planned.
At this point '14 B-V villages remind me of ‘14 Ramonet villages: utterly yummy now, but these bright candles won’t burn for long.

Complete and classic, lemon custard with a long mineral finish. Excellent wine, but seems a bit more advanced than ‘10 at this stage. Also more advanced than ‘14 Chevalieres tasted a few weeks ago, which is surprising usually Grand Charrons takes longer to come around. I am inclined to drink sooner than later to enjoy in this appealing phase.

Alongside the '15 Charrons and '14 Auxey En Reugne. The Auxey was fun, but a pretty dramatic outlier, showing ripe and tropical fruit. The Grands Charrons were clearly cut from the same cloth, and much more what I would expect from the house style. Still young, vibrant, and focused, with complexity from hints of Coche-like flintiness. Both were very good, but the edge goes to the '14 for just a bit more elegance, focus, and lift. Excellent.

Boisson-Vadot Meursault Les Grands Charrons 2014. Vakker, men noe tight for øyeblikket. Svær fet munnfølelse. Konsentrert frukt med fint balansert friskhet. Denne bør lagres videre. Mer subtil i utgangen. Brukbar lengde. Denne er i en liten fase nå og viser ikke frem alt den har å by på. 92p for nå.

I was surprised how soft the wine was considering the vintage and its youth. Nevertheless, this was delicious and drinking great now but was expecting a bit more tension.

Meursault-smaking (Oslo): Skulle ønsket mer tid i karaffel her, og et Zalto glass. Kommer seg etterhvert og dufter himmelsk etterhvert. I munn er det krystallklar frukt. Ren, elegant og med skikkelig power. Imponerende finish.

Slow ox for 10 hours. Nose has minerals, oak, yellow fruit and spearmint. Palate has good amount of minerals and acidity. This wine needs a lot of time in the cellar. Prem cru quality. 90-91

Skrikende intens ungdommelig nese med sitrus, knust stein og florale toner. Dette blir wow nok en gang! Det virker som denne vinen leverer på skyhøyt nivå uansett hvilken årgang man får foran seg. Enorm munnfølelse hvor alt er på plass. Konsentrert, elegant, mektig uten å være tung og med en nydelig nerve. Leken vin ass! Presis og fast i utgangen. Meget lang ettersmak med en mineralsk intensitet som dekker hele munnhulen. Helt fabelaktig vin som kan nytes nå eller gjemmes unna i lang tid. 94p+

blind, together with 13 and 14
2010
For me ranked 3rd place. Powerful with great salinity. Lemon tarte and macadamia nuts.
2013
2nd place. More elegant and reluctant than 2010. Great length, cracking acidity 95
2014
The most precise and reluctant of these trio. 96

Surprisingly mature, yellow apples, a tad honey, still god freshness but to advanced for the vintage. A weaker bottle, try one more.

This is as good as it gets! Minerals, popcorn, hazelnuts, high concentration, hint of grape peel and anis. A fantastic village!
