Note di degustazione
This is a very contrasty white with sliced-apple, pear and lime character on the nose and palate. Full body with sweet-tobacco, juniper and botanical undertones. It also has a very different set undertones such as sweet fruit and cream with fresh herb.

(racked): Cloudy appearance. Fascinating aromas of apple, strawberry, redcurrant, juniper, mint, quinine and anise, plus a malty suggestion of Islay scotch. Wonderfully silky and sweet but with outstanding acidity and verve to its flavors of lemon, flowers and medicinal herbs (this struck me as like a more lemony version of Adi Badenhorst's Caperitif). Very rich and thick but dry, finishing with outstanding energy and palate-staining persistence. Another utterly singular Meursault.
Like the Charmes this is slightly leesy and it's enough to mask most of the nose save for a pretty hint of exotic tea. While there is a bit more mid-palate volume to the middle weight flavors compared to those of the Bouchères, the palate impression remains cool and refined with slightly more evident minerality on the detailed and impressively persistent finish. This is a clean and relatively dry 2015 that should age well over the mid-term.
