de Montille, Meursault Saint Christophe

de Montille, Meursault Saint Christophe(from Les Petits Charrons, Les Casse Ttes and Les Narvaux). Nicely layered aromas include notes of hazelnut, essence of pear and hints of spice and acacia. There is good energy to the rich medium bodied flavors that are naturally sweet despite the markedly lemony finish. (88 90) 2021+

It's musky

This too needs to add depth but there underlying material appears to be up to the task

Tasted at the d’Issan vertical held at the property

There is a background touch of wood setting off the cool and admirably pure red and black pinot fruit that is bursting with an array of spices and wet stone

Maybe this just has the edge over the Meyney

While the 2020 Condrieu la Doriane matured entirely in new oak

dense and silky

but this is all finesse and class

high glycerin and good acidity

muscular and bitter cherry pit-inflected finale

blackberry coulis and melted licorice notes that carry through the broad

wintery night
