Tasting notes
Richard Geoffroy: ‘we rightly declared this but it was a bit of a struggle – although I’m glad we did because 1994 was so awful’. Buttery nose – this reminds me of old-fashioned Meursault! Broad and open. Exciting with a hint of ginger beer. Long undertow. Tasting really well tonight. (JR)

Chef de cave, Richard Geoffroy: 'A vintage characterised by its precocity. The early bud-break and a warm and stormy spring led to rapid and full flowering in the first fortnight of June. Despite very average temperatures, the summer was remarkable both for its amount of sunshine and the drought which lasted until the harvest began (10 September).' Disgorged in 2006. Quite dark gold. Broad and something of an oak-aged 1990s Meursault (not the tension of a 2010s Meursault) about it. Some sweetness on the front palate. Creamy texture. Waves on the palate. Lots of fun. Nourishment. Arguably from a slightly different era. (JR)
