Alain Patriarche Meursault-Blagny Piece Sous Bois
Toast, brioche, with a bit of flowers and hazelnut. More reticent in the nose when young. Masculine, powerful wine. Sublime with some age.

Toast, brioche, with a bit of flowers and hazelnut. More reticent in the nose when young. Masculine, powerful wine. Sublime with some age.
View wine...What can you say – layered, complex, textbook Meursault. Lemon cream, white peach, nut, vanilla, brioche, with the characteristic mineral streak running through the heart of the palate.
View wine...Very nice balanced power, with a touch of earth underlying the white peach fruit. Nicely layered, with good power continuing through the finish.
View wine...Classic Meursault – nice mineral streak in the mid-palate, light nut and citrus nose. Nice bottom end with a touch of caramel and vanilla on the finish.
View wine...Terrific structure. Shows a bit of barrel influence in the nose, along with white peach. Builds across the palate with a big streak of minerality, finishing with a touch of caramel and yellow raisin. Serious Meursault at this level.
View wine...A wine of great purity and balance. Nice layers of exotic fruits, honeysuckle and a touch of butterscotch. The finish is long and round.
View wine...Big and rich, layered honey, grilled nuts and butterscotch on the nose. Sexy, luscious mouthfeel, quite full but never heavy. Wonderful length to the finish.
View wine...A big wine with a sense of elegance. Pear, litchi, citrus and vanilla cream on the pretty nose, the wine has a restrained entry, then builds nicely across the palate to a rich full finish.
