Made as a standalone wine within the En l'Ormeau lieu-dit since 2002, this 1.6ha block was planted in 1952 and makes an exceptional village wine. Aged entirely in larger oak foudres. it's a weighty, concentrated wine with lees and sweet spices and a chiselled, refreshing finish.

The 2017 Meursault Clos des Ambres is also showing very well from bottle, opening in the glass with notes of green pear, oatmeal, dried white flowers and a hint of youthful reduction that dissipates with aeration. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, multidimensional and textural, with an enveloping attack that segues into a deep, muscular core, concluding with a racy finish.- WK

Pale colour, no nose at all to begin with. This has a similar racy elegance as the straight Meursault but with a greater weight of fruit on the palate for much the same acidity. This will take a little longer to come round. Tasted: September 2018.
