Wow, just wow. Nose is just stunning. Green apple, some sweet oak, butter and wet earth. Smells like a scene in nature. Unreal mineral stank. Florent is on a white wine mission these days. Palate is super precise and lean but also has an unreal silken texture and is just insane juicy and super clean. This finish pitter patters forever. Wow. The fruit is crunchy and crystalline. There is a dense structure that ensures aging. Huge concentration and my god this is so juicy and piquant. Unreal. So happy how Florant has turned a corner. Finish leaves you wanting more. Smells like apple pie now with air and gains finesse. But still 1er Cru Meursault level. Really amazing textures in this wine with air. Mature textures. So impressive. — 9 days ago

La Taupine Monthélie 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2014

Alas the wood has outlasted the fruit here.

The fruit is still lovely. Balanced cherry fruit. But there is still a tinge of wood which I find irritating. Let’s see how this airs.

Stunning. Cinnamon, brown sugar, acid, density. It sucks when you describe it like that. — 6 months ago

@Aravind A - “Stunning” = “Stunning”, descriptors don’t matter, no??

@Doug Powers spot on. Got distracted by my kids singing Apt while I was writing #seniormoment?

Vieilles Vignes Monthélie Pinot Noir 2016

Black cherry, wet earth, just a touch of brett-funk. This should be something special in a few years. Fierce. — 5 years ago
