Meursault

Frost means that Remi got just 2 barrels per HA. The lift here is fantastic. Then there are some more serious undertones, some 'matiere'. Herbs, dried savoury husks. Some cooked pear - crisper ap...(read more)

From a parcel of 55 year old vines. This is slightly richer gold colour (than the 'Luraule' tasted just before), and fatter and broader flavoured. Spicier; really good chew of concentrated nutty...(read more)

Pale greeny gold. Not as open as the Sous la Velle, a bit tighter and more reserved. More volume again, a supple presence, but quite shy for now. Good mineral intensity on the finish.

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.

This is the last year for the Charmes for quite a bit: the vineyard has been pulled up for replanting. After the open Genevrières, this is back to the tightness of the Poruzots. Fresh almonds, lo...(read more)

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)

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)

Nose is all airy mineral, not really fruit at all. Maybe a hint of white flowers. More volume as one climbs the scale, sleek and full and positively vibrating with tension and fruit complexity. V...(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.
