A full-bodied nose, marked by an intense energy of yellow citrus fruits. On the palate, the wine is both direct and profound, with a certain power, but also a vibrant energy. The finish is incisive, intensely aromatic, and extremely complex. A superb village wine, brilliantly combining tension, energy, and depth.
Olivier Leflaive Description
The appellation lies at the bottom of the hillside, on brown soil stretching from Meursault in the north to Chassagne-Montrachet in the south. The soil there is clay-limestone with a strong presence of stones. Depending on the location, the style differs a little but always allows you to combine elegance and richness. We are lucky to have a representative from all the Climats of the appellation, 26 in total.
James Suckling: 95 Points
Flint and spice come through clearly, showing a higher level of reduction in the winemaking and providing intensity and intrigue to the wine. It's medium-bodied, linear and very racy with a bright, lightly phenolic finish. Drink or hold.
Burghound: 91 Points
A slightly more elegant nose proffers a more pronounced floral influence along with cool essence of pear, apple and lemon zest nuances. The succulent, vibrant and utterly delicious medium weight flavors terminate in a dry, clean and balanced finale. This too could use better depth so at least a few years of cellaring should prove to be beneficial.
