Tasting notes
The 2014 Meursault les Forges, which Nicolas Potel told me was touched by hail, has a straightforward bouquet that needs to muster a little more personality. The palate is well balanced, but just a little anonymous compared to the 2012 and 2013, does not really get both hands on delivering Meursault-like character. Not bad, but I prefer other 2014 whites from Nicolas this year.

Bottled the day before I tasted it. South facing over the village opposite Chevalières. Dense and big. Not refined but correct. (JR)
