Date: Monday, January 20, 2020"Matured in 20% new oak and 30% aged in foudres, the 2018 Meursault Clos de Mazeray has a lively, generous, well-defined bouquet featuring scents of apple blossom, lime flower and even a hint of fresh rhubarb. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, and quite weighty in the mouth, leading to a waxy-textured finish. Very fine."Grade: 90-92 points
