Bright yellow. Pretty aromas of soft citrus fruits, lime, minerals and herbs, with hints of nuts and truffle. Fat and sweet, with lovely peachy fruit framed by ripe acids. Finishes with good breadth and Meursault-typical notes of vanilla, hazelnut and oatmeal.
Very pale yellow. Slightly reduced aromas of yellow plum, peach and lemon cream. Sweet and nicely concentrated, with good acidity and some mineral character, but less fine than the Clavoillon. A bit like a softer version of Meursault Perrieres.
