Yves Boyer-Martenot Meursault

A wow wine!

I've loved Boyer-Martenot bourgogne blanc forthe qpr, and the B-M premier crus for the top-notch quality, but the villages fails to satisfy either constituency - not a big upgrade from the bourg blanc in quality but falling way short of the pc's.

just enough minerals to have an edge but ends softly;very nice

Powerful aromatics of lemon custard and tart grapefruit with mineral and white flowers. Tart white/yellow citrus on the palate with a lot of acidity throughout. Lots of minerality and energy to the wine. Very good.

Light golden honey. Decanted 15 min. Nose of tart citrus, pinecone, some mineral. Subdued citrus on the palate, nice acidity, pine, hints of underripe pear appear up front with air.

With air, the finish becomes a bit more refined. I'll give this the benefit of the doubt and a longer decant next …

Great citrus aromatics (mostly lemon custard with a bit of white grapefruit), wet rocks, and slight smokey nuts. Bright acidity on the palate with lots of white citrus and a very nice core of minerality. Lengthy finish.

Fall Bachanalia (Green Dolphin St, Chicago IL) : nose: very smokey nose at the outset with mixed nuts, oil, citrus tones, and a slightly annoying amount of oak that starts to emerge taste: smokey backdrop on the palate with roasted nuts, citrus tones, and oak lying underneath overall: A very good meursault, but lacking a bit in acidity. Needs a bit of time to hopefully quell the oak a bit though it does have a nice smokey attack and citrus …
