Ballot Millot, Meursault Criots Brut Zero A background whisper of wood

A background whisper of wood sets off distinctly reduced aromas and it’s not clear that even extended aeration is going to completely dissipate them

Tightly wound and quite reticent

pure and chiseled flavors terminate in a youthfully austere

Even with all of the oxygenation

this is bound to relax a little with another year in bottle

Ballot Millot, Meursault Criots Brut Zero A background whisper of woodHere 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.
