Really good Rose that RoCo brought — 4 years ago
If he was properly prepared manu would have noticed if it had hints of elderberries and hazelnut but he doesn't remember. So when asked if he would have it again? "Sure" — 5 years ago
Lime and sherbet nose that follows through to a juicy palate. Very easy to enjoy. — 5 years ago
Super interesting ages rose paired with rose octopus at chèvre d’or. They made us blind it in these black glasses. Thought it was a heavy white at first. With Manu and Hitomi. Overlooking eze with the best seats in the house bc Manu met the som at a bar in nice last week — 10 months ago
Fruity, full body. From Manu — 5 years ago
Nose has lightly toasted brioche, recently washed lemon, lemon pith, dry limestone, pineapple core and yellow apple peel.
Palate has lime pith, squeeze of lemon juice, slight waxy notes, pulverized limestone and lingering ripe tropical fruits.
Medium finish, feeling like the concentration is coming up short, still enjoyable. 90m decant, we'll see how it evolves over the evening.
(Soured 100% from Meursault, seven separate vineyard plots.)

Amazing NSG legendary producers sitting right behind us at the wine bar blind tasting! Les Comptoir des Frères Nice. Cherries blackcurrant earth. With Manu and Hitomi — 10 months ago
Spicy with minerality. Paired well with our Thanksgiving turkey. Quoted by Manu. — 4 years ago
Nose has bright red cherry, ripe tart cherry, tree bark/vine stems, ripe plum, semi-moist soil, moist chalk and mashed black cherry.
Palate has over-ripe cherry, dried tart cherry, dried cranberry, smoked anise, moss, dried blackberry, bright acidity, beautifully earthy textures and slightly drying finish. Delicious.
An interesting tasting experience, Meursault is only planted to about 4-5% Pinot Noir, so finding one is a challenge to say the least.
Decanted 3 hours, still needs more time in bottle and decanter. I'd love to see this in 5-6 years, unfortunately our only bottle.
