French wines and French food (Bar Marta): Nose: The nose is balanced and mature with creams, vanilla beans, peaches, roasted nuts, lemon curds, and some reductive notes. There is excellent depth and poise that highlights the age of the wine.
Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium acidity. The acidity is balanced with the feel being refined and backed up with creams, vanilla beans, some reductive notes, roasted nuts, apples, and lemon curds.
Overall: This was a lovely, mature Meursault. It is perfectly balanced and was singing. This is in a fantastic spot right now and should be enjoyed in all its glory.

This was fantastic, so youthful and bright. Lovely mix of buttery/toasty aspects and saline minerality. Very attractive, judicious, oak. I'd had a pretty tired Morey-Colin Genevieres 2000 last year and this was just in a completely different league.

Best bottle to date. Non-premoxed. Still hints of sulphur but have largely been resolved. Excellent length and minerality. Just wish these had a bit more roundness but this is simply the terroir or house style here.

Great intensity and freshness. Very lively. Huge, complex nose. Fantastic interplay of richness and acidity -- real class, power and elegance. Very good.

Richly layered nose with wet stones, butter, and floral notes, mixed with flashes of sulfur. Very good. Elegant and honeyed with fresh acid and minerals. Excellent and complex length. Graham cracker. Balanced, lush and taught, quite youthful and delicious.

I found there to be a tad too much sulphur in this. Couldn't get past the burnt match nose. On the palate however this was still very tight citrus fruits and acacia flower with an elegant balance and a mineral finish. Long length and a long life ahead of it.

the best white wine i've had this year. deeply aromatic nose, with a good nuance of flavors, very nice on entry as well, with seashells, rocks, sea, minerals. the material is deep and the wine intense, completely in balance, a true "wow" wine. a terrific showing

Tasted blind. Great nose (reminded me of Coche or Leflaive), slightly dark color (guessed it was a 1992!). Good acid, almost tannic, slightly bitter finish. Tight as hell. Hold.

Light yellow in the glass. Lots of white flowers, and minerals on the nose. Kind of a wet metal note. In the mouth the wine is dense and concentrated. I have been surprised at the forward nature of some of the wines from the 2000 vintage. But this was infanticide. This wine had not evolved at all, and basically needs 5-10 years in the cellar. Furthermore I was quite curious to see what Pierre Morey could accomplish in his own cellar. Maybe one could have expected a wine stylistically close to a Lafon, with Morey having been the wine-maker up until 1988. But this was nothing like a Lafon. In fact, it was nothing like a Meursault. This wine had a laser-shot of searing, ripe acid across the palate. And the colour was noticably lighter, than how a Meursault usually appears. The wine seemed much more like a Chassagne or a Puligny. There was plenty of style and detail, and the texture was dense and oily. The aftertaste fanned out on flavours of honey, anise, and flower petals and lasts 40 seconds. Certainly a wine that should be cellared for another half-decade at least.

La Paulée de New York - The Verticals (Eventi Hotel - New York NY): Walk around tasting in 10/09/00 vertical. Fully mature and highly nuanced with so much textural and gustatory enjoyment right now.

The Verticals Tasting at 2020 La Paulée de New York (Eventi Hotel, New York): Rich, broad, quite glycerine. Holding very well, but less drive and energy than the 2009.

Meursault les Perrières Dinner, Top Producers (The Bristol - Chicago IL): In 89/99/00/02 vertical. Started out lush and powerful with plenty of apple and pear aromas and flavors. Softened and shortened with more air. Best when popped-and-poured. Very good, but time to drink up.

Nice aromas of butter, apple, and fall spices
Leaner palate with nice depth and brightness. A bit foursquare, yet very solid.

Advanced. Not totally shot, this is drinkable, but it's a bit nutty and cidery and short. Bleh.

Sampled at a tasting of sixteen white burgundies. Funky barnyard nose. Mineral and stone flavor with a slight hint of almond or cherry. Very good.
