Tasting notes
(the yield here was off more than 50% in 2016): Restrained nose hints at yellow peach and anise. A bit more expressive in the mouth than the Poruzots, with its stone fruit and mineral flavors conveying excellent lemony cut. This very juicy, youthful wine displays excellent density but no sharp edges and finishes with excellent rising length.

The 2016 Meursault Goutte d’Or has impressive delineation on the nose, much more than the Meursault Boucheres, sporting better tension and vigor. The palate is quite tensile on the opening, less mellifluous than the Boucheres and demonstrating greater terroir expression. This is certainly showing more potential than other barrel samples from the domaine, though I would afford it a couple of years in bottle.
The clay of Le Porusot and the poor soils of Les Bouchères at the same time. Quite solid. A bit formless and simple compared to some. Lime cordial but not so much follow-through. (JR)
