An expressive, airy and ripe nose layers together notes of lemon, lavender, acacia blossom and an interesting hint of tangerine. There is outstanding intensity to the saline and well-detailed middle weight flavors that brim with sappy dry extract on the slightly more complex and tension-filled finale. Lovely. Outstanding Score: 89 - 91 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2021+ 15 June 2016 |

There is just half the usual crop of the 2014 Meursault Clos de la Barre because of hail. It has a composed bouquet with light tropical tones, inward looking at the moment, perhaps needing more mineral expression. The palate is quite tense on the entry, the acidity a little sharper than the village cru, with fine precision if not length on the finish. This is a good Meursault, one that I would broach in its youth, leaving its siblings for the cellar. Score: 89 - 91 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2018-2026 31 December 2015 |

High-pitched aromas of lime and mint. More precise and focused than the Désirée, with bright acidity intensifying the musky lime and mineral flavors. Lovely energy here. Score: 90 - 93 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 September 2015 |
