Bill Nanson "The Burgundy Report"
Ooh - not full power, but the aroma is very pretty and shows engaging complexity. Vibrant, complex, a little mineral, driving with a fine intensity. Excellent wine, indeed excellent gouttes dor…
John Gilman "View from the Cellar"
The 2018 Meursault “les Gouttes d’Or” from Domaine Bernard Millot is another beautifully measured wine from this torrid vintage, again coming in listed at a svelte (for 2018) thirteen percent alcohol. The bouquet is lovely and already beautifully expressive, wafting from the glass in a mix of pear, a touch of tangerine, passion fruit, buttered almonds, iodine, a fine base of soil and a lovely, understated framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is fullbodied, complex and zesty, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent mineral undertow, lovely focus and grip and a long, well-balanced and complex finish. This is a touch richer than the Vireuils 2018, but then again, this is one of the warmer microclimates among the premier crus of Meursault, in viewed in that context, it is quite refined in profile. This is a lovely bottle of les Gouttes d’Or. 2022-2032+.
