(Magnum) The nose is understated and tight. The palate has plenty of tannin, but impresses with an extra dimension of flavours that adhere to your gums. Very young but a good bottle.

More straw coloured. Mainly oak on the nose. The palate is a little less fat than the previous Meursault, but has a nicer texture, perhaps a little buttery. This has good acidity and comes across as very young and très Puligny. The longer that this wine was open the more we enjoyed it, in fact over the space of an hour I changed my (pedantic) rating from almost good to very good.

Still a pale lemon yellow. The nose starts with toasty oak, then a little boiled sweets and sweet melon too. Interesting palate, the acidity jumps out at you on the front of your tongue, almost in a sherbety way. Seems reasonably well balanced, though there’s a little spritz. Completely unlike any of the other wines tasted. Not bad, just a little odd.
