The nose is psycho. Lime zest, butter, actually brown butter, an airy ethereal quality, maybe some white peach, some citrus and unreal discreetly framed oak that has just made me shake my head how well integrated it is. Like insane. 9.8 nose. All the wet stones one can imagine. Florent is a completely different winemaker than when I started with him. This is super elite. The palate is a masterclass in controlled detonating So opulent yet so nimble. The texture, my goodness the texture. Silk. The finest silk. Extraordinary concentration and so nimble, so sappy and so pure. Unreal density and finesse and ultra concentrated. But so nimble it’s like a breeze on your palate. Acid is on point as is the structure which is architectural. More Gehry than Hadid. It’s got tannin and acid plus extraordinary length. There is real heft and density here but it retains this laser like delineation. Icing on a cake like texture now after some air and silly length. Stunning. With air this got crazy crazy elegant. Brilliant. — 4 days ago

Wow, just wow. Nose is just stunning. Green apple, some sweet oak, butter and wet earth. Smells like a scene in nature. Unreal mineral stank. Florent is on a white wine mission these days. Palate is super precise and lean but also has an unreal silken texture and is just insane juicy and super clean. This finish pitter patters forever. Wow. The fruit is crunchy and crystalline. There is a dense structure that ensures aging. Huge concentration and my god this is so juicy and piquant. Unreal. So happy how Florant has turned a corner. Finish leaves you wanting more. Smells like apple pie now with air and gains finesse. But still 1er Cru Meursault level. Really amazing textures in this wine with air. Mature textures. So impressive. — a month ago

Alas the wood has outlasted the fruit here.

The fruit is still lovely. Balanced cherry fruit. But there is still a tinge of wood which I find irritating. Let’s see how this airs. — 3 years ago
