Meursault

Sweet and fat, very gourmand and salivating, an energy in the roundness. Not very mineral, it has a round enveloping generous character, then lemony tonic brightness on the finish.

Slightly richer gold colour (than the Luraule), and fatter and broader flavoured. Spicier; really good chew of concentrated nutty flavour in the mid-palate. Long on fairly pointed acidity.

Very pale greeny gold and very aromatic in a keen citrus way. Palate is fat and surprisingly full. Very pure and directed saline style, staying on lemon and citrus purity.

Oldest vines of the domaine, planted in 1940. Picked even after the Narvaux, because even though it is lower, it is round the corner into the beginning of the combe which goes up to Auxey Duresse...(read more)

55 year old vines, above Genevrières. A fuller nose than Luraule, more breadth of minerals, a flavour of rock-dust and a big nutty sort of flavour. Not as sleek as the Luraule, but more obvious c...(read more)

A different register to the Chassagnes, surprisingly mineral again, lovely freshness. All the fat of the vintage and intensity and length too. Very attractive.

Starts less open than the Poruzots on the nose, but is much fatter and rounder. At first does not seem to have the sheer concentration of the Poruzots either, but it does have a riper fruit and g...(read more)

This is a new wine in this cellar. Vines inherited from Jean-François's father-in-law François Jobard, 'a beautiful vineyard' says J-F. This is in the upper part, next to Rémi Jobard's, as one mi...(read more)

As so often, the Poruzots is understated at this stage, and its ripeness, tasted after the Chevalières, makes it seem almost too easy, supple, ripe and round. But there is real richness and densi...(read more)

Like the others, this is tight and sappy. Even Rémi says it is not supple like the others. 'When they are ten years old the Poruzot gets the elegance on the finish that the Genevrières has from the star...(read more)

As mineral as the Chevalierères - it smells of rock, but with a greater depth. Entry confirms all this, and then there is the volume - a cool mineral, glassy weight and purity. Liquid flint? Very...(read more)

Fatter than the Poruzots, a touch more generous in feel, more filled-out, the Genevrières just gets its act together earlier. Lovely length and balance.
