Tasting notes
A touch of reduction dissipated with air to reveal musky aromas and flavors of pear, peach and honey. Nicely concentrated and rich in extract; shows good cut despite fairly low acidity. The yield here was held to 30 hectoliters per hectare owing to some hail damage.

The 2013 Meursault en la Barre has a crisp, smoke and hazelnut nose that springs from the glass like a small excitable puppy. There is real articulation of the terroir here. The palate is fresh and crisp with red apple, lemon zest and just a touch of marmalade adding a little exoticism on the finish. Very fine...though there is little (at the moment) to distinguish it from the excellent generic white.
Quite smoky and even a little bitter on the end. Lots of chew. Dry finish. (JR)
