The 2023 Meursault St. Christophe has a lively bouquet with light sea spray scents and a touch of struck flint. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed opening. A little lower in acidity compared to the Puligny, it’s nonetheless harmonious with a judiciously spiced finish. This is one of de Montille’s "dark horses."Vinous Media | 90-92 VMFirm reduction dominates the nose today. More interesting are the delicious and punchy middle weight flavors that display evident minerality on the clean, nicely dry and youthfully austere finale that is distinctly lemony in character. Once again, I would advise at least a few years of cellaring first as this is sufficiently compact to need unwinding.Burghound | 89-91 BHPale lemon yellow, softer and rounder, but with lemon scented energy to finish. Plenty happening here. White fruit with a slight youthful bitterness, and a little nutty note. Drink from 2028-2032. Tasted Oct 2024.Jasper Morris | 89-91 JM
