Allen Meadows' Burghound, June 2011
(the blend has now changed from exclusively Pernand vines to a mix of Aloxe and Pernand). A pretty and nuanced nose of white flowers, green apple and pungent wet stone notes are in keeping with the equally complex and nuanced full-bodied, rich and overtly muscular flavors that also exude an intense minerality on the complex, vibrant and explosive finish. 91-94 points.

Bright yellow. Complex nose melds peach, lemon, nutmeg and crushed stone. Penetrating and pure, with superb energy and lift to its flavors of apple, spices and crushed stone. Strongly minerally but not austere, thanks to the richness of the year. This broad but weightless wine finishes with terrific sappy persistence.
91-94 points. |
