Tasting notes
: Classic Meursault aromas and flavors of lemon, lime, hazelnut and oatmeal. Rich and lively; hints at dried fruits yet remains fresh. This resembles the '06 but comes across as a bit more minerally and less fruity. Finishes youthfully firm and persistent.

Very ambitious again this blend of 80% fruit from Ormeaux and 20% from Castets. Quite smoky and restrained. Tight with lots of chew. Ambitious structure – far from the big brawny open Meursault cliché. Needs, nay demands, time. (JR)
: Bright, pale yellow. Fruit-driven aromas of lemon, orange and tangerine. Supple and silky, with nicely integrated acidity giving shape to the soft citrus fruit and spice flavors. This is quite rich, not to mention juicy and delicious, and light on its feet for 2005 Meursault. Looks to be a superb village wine.
