Although this was a bit of a funky monkey at first pass, I found myself becoming more and more drawn to this wine as time passed. There is an old-school presence here, with candied lemon, grilled…
Pear, lemon, unripe peach, crème fraiche, lime pith, and hints of vanilla make for a youthful and somewhat unresolved showing, but marked by a purity of fruit that is undeniably top tier, especially…
Strong pineapple rind and barrel influence here. Seems a bit disjointed at first, finishing slightly bitter. With air, its brassy profile wanes, with tropical fruit, lemon curd, and cantaloupe rind…
Green apple skin, lemon-lime juice, and limestone are bundled up in a somewhat superficial and slender shot of linear and primary flavors. The cut here is worthy of mention, but the mid-palate drop…
Oxidative and past its prime, but not completely over the hill, this Lafon offers deep lemon, butterscotch, and nutty flavors. A fun wine to analyze and geek out on. Best search the corners of your…
A smooth and even somewhat muted delivery at first pass, this Roulot requires a bit of coaxing to show its medium-intensity yellow citrus and wet limestone flavors. From nose to tail, the delivery is…
Showing some advanced nuttiness and demi-sec deep lemon flavors, but certainly not without requisite freshness and energy. There is a nice bead of acidity that keeps it all moving along, with faint…
Last bottle. A solid performance each time. Stops just short of 1er Cru concentration and intensity, with a lemony persistence that keeps the flavor conveyance gliding through the medium finish. I…
Continues to drink beautifully. Served side by side with a zesty '15 Mikulski Poruzots 1er, which carried brighter focus and chiseled mineral elements to it. However, this Meursault offering held its…
Went for a decant this time over the course of two-three hours. Didn't need it. I liked it punchy its first hour of consumption. Good stuff overall with bright and succulent yellow citrus flavors.…
Bruised lemon rind, roasted hazelnuts, olive oil, and BBQ pineapple. Good energy, but not shying away from the fact that it is likely at the apex of its drinking window. Drink now and over the next…
Grilled lemon rind, olive oil, chamomile, yellow pear skin, subtle lamp oil (not bitter), and the slightest hit of grilled plantain. Good energy and a full follow-through on the entire delivery from…
Vibrant and fresh yellow citrus core, with a notable balance that straddles fun energy with a focused and deliberate cadence. Very pure, with a medium-bodied attack that makes continuous sipping far…
Medium and balanced overall, with an execution that highlights freshness and purity; an initially linear delivery that expands over time with vigorously decanted air (2+ hours). Bright yellow citrus,…
Notably balanced and smooth, with a creamy texture that enveloped the palate and offered a nice vehicle to carry the yellow citrus, mild tropical fruit, and sea stone elements through the attack.…
