So darn good already. A big, forward, generous aroma of sweet orchard fruit, mineral and kiss of toast. Palate has loads of rich, round citrus-inflected fruit with enough refreshing acidity to offset. Always a bottling that does well on the younger side.

Light almost chartreuse color. Reductive nose. Liked this better on day 2. Nice precision with orchard fruits. Better balance on day 2, day 1 was more acidic. Day one was a 91, day 2 was 92.

Not as full as the Morgeot, more medium bodied. Heavily reductive, doesn’t blow off after 4 hours. This is NOT lush/fruity but linear. Hard to like it at this point. Just needs time.

Uh… did someone accidentally put the grand cru juice into this bottle? Vibrant and simultaneously luxurious, this remarkable 2018 has all the markings of a top tier white burg. Singed ginger, toasted brown sugar, lemon confit, some vanilla undertones, it’s a remarkably high quality, energetic and well concentrated wine, raising the bar for this vintage. Really makes me want to pick up some more moreau!
Held up (accidentally) over two days with only a glass left in the bottle.. impressive!

Lovely young bottle. Citrus notes, mineral, beautiful fruit that is in balance. Looking forward to seeing how this and it's siblings evolve.
