1997 Joseph Matrot, Meursault 1er Blagny
Medium yellow. An understated though slightly estery nose. The palate is more interesting, it shows real depth, good texture and very nice integrated acidity.
Rebuy – Maybe
1997 François & Antoine Jobard, Meursault 1er Poruzots
Medium yellow. An understated but very pleasant nose. The palate has dimension, concentration and integration – It’s really very good. Lowish acidity but very tasty.
Rebuy – Yes
1997 Comtes Lafon, Meursault 1er Genevrières
Width, freshness and a brioche depth on the nose. Ripe and concentrated with a very good texture. Long too. This hangs together very well, it’s very good wine – vintage independant.
Rebuy – Yes
1997 François & Antoine Jobard, Meursault 1er Genevrières
Medium yellow. A narrow, tight nose. Well balanced and tasty but suffers a little after the ripeness of the Lafon, holds a very good length though.
Rebuy – Maybe
1997 François Mikulski, Meursault 1er Genevrières
(Magnum) Medium yellow. It’s an understated nose – little to put your finger on. The palate is wide, nicely concentrated yet also understated. Another wine with excellent length – really good balance here.
Rebuy – Yes
1997 Comtes Lafon, Meursault 1er Charmes
Pale yellow. The nose is less obviously forward than his Genevrières, but finer with extra sophistication. The palate is wide, complex, ripe and long. What more can I say? Less showy but no less quality than the Genevrières.
Rebuy – Yes
