Morey-Blanc Meursault 1er Cru Gouttes d'Or

On the ripe side, not very precise, somewhat mushed together, decent weight. 90-91

Delicious mineral nose, ripe fruits, butter, intense and great time to drink. Fresh palate, great acidity and balance this wines is mostly what I look for in a burgundy bottle. 10 years of age and starting its development, against most of the current produced Burg's.

A long lunch at Helen's place (Martinborough, NZ) : Served blind. Light gold colour, showing a little age. A pleasant but not aromatically complex bouquet of citrus, minerals and wet river stone. In the mouth, fresh and crisp, with a good acid backbone. Decent structure and fruit weight but not at the level of the Boillot of earlier today. Not at all clunky, a very correct white Burgundy, but pleasant, rather than complex on palate. Actually quite tight and lean …

Less hazelnut & much more woody oak than I remember from previous bottles. Still very nice, but not a subtle wine.

Tasty balance & richness in addition to other CT notes on this one.

Wow. This sounds crazy, but the nose is like a bourbon banana bread pudding! Deep straw color. Rich aromas of whiskey with caramel and a bit of banana. Palate is just as complex, with toast, hazelnuts, great mid-palate acidity and a warm butter finish. Still good tannins and acid, will do well for 5+ more years.

Excellent meursault

This bottle tasted a bit off to me. I recall loads of hazelnut and oak, but this had a bit of a candied tartness with some possible TCA. Still really good and interesting (everyone else liked it), but not as good as before.

Neon yellow and green hues with med-lite viscosity in the glass. Tight nose initially which opened over time to tropical and stone fruit, brett, lemon-lime, sage and honeydew. Secondary tea and flowers. Med-lite body with persistent and mouth coating citrus, tropical fruit, honeydew and pith. Secondary crème brûlée, lavender and white tea. Sturdy backbone. Clean minerals. Medium finish. Moderate complexity came out with time. On closeout at Grocery Outlet.

Domaine Pierre Morey and Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair with Allen Meadows (St. Regis, Singapore) : Spicy, creamy but not huge as some examples of Charmes tend to be. Made in a light-handed way this is all about finesse. Does not come across as particularly impressive but maybe that's how it is mean to be.

Even better than the Charmes. A bit riper with richer stonefruit, ripe yellow peach as apposed to white, apricot, and spice. Not as spicy on the palate, which is nice, and better acidity overall. Minerals are dominant on the finish and the acidity lasts forever. Beautifully balanced Meursault.

Great aromatics of white peach, stonefruit pith, floral, and vanilla. Almost that bourbon-like sweetness with vanilla, tons of spices, particularly clove. Finishes with nice acidity and more spice. Balanced with the toasty element, fruit, and acid. Good Meursault.
