Tasting notes
Bright, pale yellow. Subdued, slightly minty aromas of crushed stone and lime blossom; not as pristine as the Blagny and a touch metallic today. Then densely packed and bright on the palate, with lemon and peach fruit flavors lifted by spices and minerals. Not exactly hard today but needs time to absorb some of its acidity. Light on its feet in the style of the year. Finishes with sneaky length.

The aroma is already quite complex, with citrus, mealy lees notes and again that light note of coconut from the oak. This is a definite step up from the village Meursault – deeper and richer yet still fresh and citrusy on the palate. (JH)
