Tasting notes
Pale, bright yellow. Distinctly more soil-driven than the basic village Meursault, with its apple and spice flavors lifted by a calcaire element. A step up in intensity and spicy concentration as well, with apple and spice flavors framed by ripe acidity and enlivened by mineral verve. With less frost here, the estate made a bit more than 30 hectoliters per hectare, and the wine comes across as more energetic than the basic village bottling.

18% new oak. Tank sample. Floral and chalky on the nose. Racy and with a real grip on the palate. Savoureux . Lots there. Good body. (JR)
