Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Here there are no reductive issues as the ultra-fresh if restrained aromas of citrus, spiced pear and floral scents possess fine complexity, particularly for a villages level wine. The middle weight flavors possess equally good freshness and verve before terminating in a beautifully deep, persistent and impeccably well-balanced finale. This delivers excellent quality for the appellation and is recommended. Outstanding Score: 89 - 92 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2020+ 15 June 2015 |

Tasting from a barrel from the old 65-year-old vines that had finished their malo earlier than the younger, the 2013 Meursault Clos de la Barre has a powerful smoke and hazelnut bouquet that bodes well for bottling. The palate is quite tensile on the entry with citrus peel, orange rind and hazelnut: linear in the mouth, but holding nothing back on the intense finish. This is a very commendable Meursault, even if it is overshadowed by of Dominique's more "ambitious" premier crus. Score: 90 - 92 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2017-2032 01 December 2014 |
