Meursault
683. Joseph Faiveley, Meursault, 2008
A slightly ‘hard’ streak of acidity takes this a little out-of-balance, which is a shame, for an otherwise pretty good wine. Pale gold. Medium …
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 …
585. Albert Bichot, Domaine du Pavillion Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes, 2005

536. Pierre Morey, Meursault 1er Cru Perrières, 1996
A birthday present for SJ, since she likes Meursault so much! A bit of a risk to try a late ‘90s white Burgundy, but …
531. Louis Jadot, Meursault, 2007
