Vintage information 2004:

The better whites were lovely at release, wonderful citrus infused acidity that is now tight and sometimes spiky; regionals can be a little harsh.
The already uneven reds have a post bottling malaise; a rather green and sometimes unpleasant cedar/pine note all producers are affected if you are sensitive, these are great bargains for the insensitive! After 3 years they have not improved. Some whites also show the odour but seem better able to assimilate it than reds...

2004 Pavillon, MeursaultMar. 2006
From the west side of the appellation. Medium yellow. A very floral nose with hints of herb overlaying the fruit. Fatter, well balanced acidity, in-fact very good acidity. Really does have an extra dimension and depth of complexity. Again, medium length, but the real interest for this wine is in the mouth. A very tasty wine indeed.
2004 Pavillon, Pommard Clos des UrsulinesMar. 2006
A lovely floral nose – violets with a mineral undertow. Much more structure than the Bourgogne, very good acidity and mouth-coating tannins. The fruit is high-toned with lovely extension into the mid-palate – and further! A very stylish Pommard. Lovely.
