610. Domaine Latour-Giraud, Meursault Cuvée Charles Maxime, 2000
A very frustrating wine – first bottle showing some age / oxidation (but drinkable), but the second corked so I could neither check, nor …
603. Domaine du Vissoux, Fleurie Poncié, 2009
The best I could come up with as a red to match the tuna in the starter, and the expected richness of the onion …
599. Louis Jadot, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru, 2008
The cellarmaster at Jadot apparently put this together as a response to the Credit Crunch, as a ‘value’ 1er Cru cuvée. In which case …
585. Albert Bichot, Domaine du Pavillion Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes, 2005
Another of the bunch picked up in Meursault itself. Pretty good, and into its drinking window. Pale gold. Develops over time and as it …
571. Marc Colin, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Vide-Bourses”, 2006

556. Jean Latour-Labille, Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, 2007
Youthful. Drinking pretty well now, but will be better in 3-5 years, to allow the slightly ‘hard’ acidity to mellow and integrate, whilst complexity …
552. Jobard-Chabloz, Meursault Clos du Cromin, 2006
Good, but not great, by any means. It was straight from the fridge, which wouldn’t have done it any favours on length & complexity, …
545. Château Labouré-Roi, Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouches Chères, 2005
Got told off for noting this one at dinner with SJ, AM and Chris. Anyway, reasonably happy to have done so as it was …
543. Vincent Dancer, Meursault Les Corbins, 2006
The first of my case of different Meursaults from the wine shop in Meursault village. Shows the quality of the 2006 vintage for white …
542. Sylvain Dussort, Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée des Ormes, 2006
A freebie after spending €400+ with Dad at the wine shop in Meursault. This is apparently from the border of I think Puligny-Montrachet, and …
