Medium yellow. The nose has very understated butterscotch and oak, swirling lifts out a little high-toned pear fruit. The palate is nicely concentrated and very well textured. The acidity is nice, as is the medium and a bit finish. Certainly a large step-up from the Bourgogne, but then so is the price (3x). Good wine, but not brilliant value.

2004 Pavillon Meursault
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.
2001 Boillot Henri Meursault
The last bottle was corked, so we try again. Medium gold colour – very nice nose – fresh, high tones with whiffs of pineapple and pear. The sweet palate has really excellent balance, some fat and an impressive length for the appellation. I re-stocked despite the previous corky experience – very good wine, excellent villages.

Had one of these earlier in the year that was a little oxidised, this seemed better. Golden colour. The nose has a little residual oak and a slughtly nutty note that underpins sweet melon. The palate is fat and rich – a little exotic perhaps – certainly covers the ample acidity. An interesting and long finish too. A wine I enjoyed – obviously some bottle variation around though
