Description
90 Points Allen Meadows
The cool and pure nose is comprised by note of essence of freshly sliced apple and lemon rind along with subtle hints of hazelnut, matchstick and spice. The generous, round and fleshy medium-bodied flavors possess fine volume and richness while displaying impressive length on the balanced finale. As it often is, this is excellent and particularly so for a villages level wine. This too is lovely and is a wine that should drink well both young and with mid-term aging.

The 2017 Meursault Clos de la Barre has turned out very well, opening in the glass with a youthfully reserved bouquet of citrus oil, clear honey, green orchard fruit and almond paste that’s actually less forthcoming than the Perrières at this very early stage. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and satiny, with tangy acids, good concentration, and a lively, saline finish. While this will be approachable young, expect real complexity to emerge with a decade’s bottle age.
