Tasting notes
Powerfully layered green-apple fruit with tangy acidity and a long, stony finish that reveals the Meursault terroir. Salty and powerful. Nothing subtle here. (RH)

Pale bright yellow. Vibrant yet laid-back aromas of pineapple and tangerine. Dense and sappy, offering terrific intensity and verve to its flavors of apricot, peach, pineapple and nutty oak. This beauty boasts superb inner-mouth energy and fruity lift today and will need time to reveal its underlying minerality. But the wine already spreads out to dust the mouth on the very long, rising aftertaste, which leaves behind notes of wild herbs and mint. There's a lot going on here, but I'm not convinced that this wine will ultimately surpass the Genevrières.
