@Delectable Wine this is the Meursault VV. 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. — 15 hours ago

2023 vintage. Light-medium body with a consistent palate presence. No über-demonstrative characteristics but no gaping holes either. Pleasant, pretty and unafraid to converse throughout. At $15.10 resto cost a bottle, beyond decent value with most red Bourgogne efforts running me $35-$50 these days. Picked up two cases. The proverbial cheap chicken and the nice price. 03.28.25. — 3 months ago

Punches meaningfully above its price point. Always reliably delicious. Bit more fruit this year, perhaps? Excellent body and acid and finish. Rounds out on day 2. — 17 days ago

Needs a 30 minute decant.

Nose: white and yellow flowers. Ocean breeze.

Palate: classic dauvissat elegant density. Mashed yellow flowers. Delicious. Almost a willi Schaefer balancing tartness.

Nose: white flowers. Richness. Fucking ethereal.

Palate: elegant richness. Sick. Fucking sick. Hint of honey. Lingering craziness.

Lovely medium-weight Chablis 1er Cru, some spice and mineral aromas and flavors, long finish, I’m guessing 3-5 more years of improvement ahead, very fine!! — 5 months ago
