2021 Meursault Les Criots Domaine Ballot Millot

Here too there is just enough reduction to push the underlying fruit to the background save for a hint of the exotic. The sleeker and finer medium-bodied flavors are not quite as powerful or concentrated but they do flash more evident minerality on the well-detailed, balanced and lingering finish. This is an excellent villages and one that should amply repay 5 to 8 years of keeping.

Very little frost damage in this lower slope vineyard. Fresh lemon and lime colour. The bouquet shows admirable purity if not much detail yet. A little bit saline at the back, behind an easily adequate volume of fruit.
