Tasting notes
Palish bright yellow. Lovely verve to the aromas of lemon zest, white pepper, flowers and stony minerality. Generous on entry, then concentrated and taut in the mid-palate, showing penetrating flavors of lemon ice and white pepper. Really clamps down on the finish. This classically dry Meursault boasts very good potential but will need time--and food!

A little more obviously oaked than the village Meursault but it has the fruit to carry it. Tight, crisp and lively with green apple and citrus. The oak spice comes back on the finish. (JH)
(the crop level of 44 hectoliters per hectare was healthy for the vintage): Musky reduction to the aromas of lime, quinine and crushed stone. Ripe lemon and lime flavors are lifted by a distinctly Puligny-like floral character and harmonious acidity. A step up from the Meursault villages in energy and length.
