Tasting notes
The 2017 Meursault Clos des Ambres is also showing very well from bottle, opening in the glass with notes of green pear, oatmeal, dried white flowers and a hint of youthful reduction that dissipates with aeration. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, multidimensional and textural, with an enveloping attack that segues into a deep, muscular core, concluding with a racy finish.

Outstanding. This too is quite floral with additional hints of matchstick, petrol, hazelnut and citrus zest. As is usually the case there is better volume, mid-palate density and richness to the succulent and caressing yet powerful flavors that conclude in a bracing bitter lemon rind finish. This too offers excellent quality for its level and is recommended.
In tank since just before the 2018 harvest and will be bottled in March or April. This is a selection from En l’Ormeau. Fermented and aged in two foudres. This is a little more herbal and strict on the nose than the straight Meursault. Stony and spicy, too. Extremely tight and tense on the palate but a perfect balance between depth of fruit and crisp acidity. Long, stony, saline finish. Saliva-provoking with incredible intensity and length. (JH)
