John Gilman - View from the Cellar
"The 2009 Clos des Ambres is one of the few 2009s that I tasted on this trip which
showed off the same crystalline profile that was evident in so many top white wines in the 2008 vintage. The very complex bouquet is excellent, as it offers up scents of apple, lemon, orange, great minerality, a touch of iodine, hints of the nuttiness to come, vanillin oak and a topnote of apple blossoms. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, crisp and very minerally on the backend, with a fine core, snappy acids and great focus and cut on the finish. Just a beautiful bottle of Meursault. 2014-2035."

"Pale yellow. Fresh nectarine and peach aromas sexed up by hazelnut. Dry but stuffed with ripe peach and citrus flavors. Classically styled Meursault, with a dry, brisk finish. Drink the basic village wine now and give this a few years in the cellar."
