Popped at Hibernia on Anguilla with local smoked fish and lobster. Exquisite pale golden color, like Grace Kelly's locks. Mineral nose, wet stone, fresh cut beets and freshly snapped asparagus. Sharp bright minerality and fresh lemon is pronounced. As it warmed slightly, honeyed lemon and apricot came forth on the palate if not the nose. The finish was round and prolonged, but thankfully not marred at all with oak. A stunning example of French white burgundy from Meursault. Plenty of legs left if you are lucky enough to be cellaring this beauty.

This was brought by friends of ours and it was very nice. Bright and acidic with only a hint of oak, it started with a bit of pineapple and Meyer lemon. Nice all the way through, but not spectacular as many a white Burgundy.

Delicious white burg. Light buttery flavor, with a nice steak of minerality and plenty of lemon and apple on the midpalate. Yum. Wish I had more.

Consistent with prior notes and still drinking beautifully. Delicious, mineral-driven meursault!
