Jasper Morris MW 92-94/100
18 hl/ha, as Joseph lit his bougies very early here, the decision being made on where the vines are most advanced. Excellent balance here, a strong lemon and lime character, density, a little bacon fat even. Solid and fairly concentrated finish. Shows all the stones it should.Drink 2026-2031Jasper Morris, insideburgundy_com (January 2023)
