13.1% alc., 298 cases, $50. The model for this wine is the Meursault 1er Cru Blagny from Francois and Antoine Jobard. · Light golden yellow color in the glass. The nose leads with scents of lemon oil, green apple, pear and white flower bouquet. Slightly creamy on the palate, with flavors of salted apple, brioche, lemon curd and baked apple. Impressive finesse yet satisfying drive. A Somm’s wine. Score: 90. Reviewed August 17, 2016
