Maison Roche de Bellene Meursault 1er Cru Charmes

A real stunner!!! Pear, minerality, butter, crisp, and beautiful body. Thankfully I have four more bottles in the cellar.

Popped and poured. Cork was saturated, with a hint of leakage, though still a full fill. Looks the part; full yellow. Nose emerged with a little air. Nice minerality and hazelnut. Full palate, with good impression in the mouth. Sense of place. However, not getting the honey/butter some others have. This can go on for years; I'm not sure it has even hit peak. 5-12-16-9: 92/100.

Round but with a fullness undergirding the lemon confit and pear notes. I wish I could keep my hands off these, should have moved offsite :)

In great form. A complete wine in the sense that it has full fruited Meursault flavors with malo tones, but plenty of cut and dry extract from the vintage. Also a bit reduced, which I like. You could happily cellar these for 5-10 years. This bottle was under Diam 10

One of the best vintages in 20 years, full-flavoured buttery style which will develop honey and nutty tones with age.

Absolutely charming. This is really delicious right now. It is superbalanced; the white orchard fruits and hint of hazelnut is really complimented by the acidity. Paired superwell with simply pan roasted Chilean sea bass. The sweet butteriness of this particular fish just screams for Meursault.
