Meursault 1er Cru "Les Cras" 2004, Vincent-Escalier
The hue is a vibrant medium yellow with a brassy tinge. Ominously the first nose is dominated by oak... as is the second nose with a potent lemon refrain creeping in. Very direct and clean on the nose but not at all interesting. Thick, chewy and oaky on the palate with entire forests of oak growing over what could have been a mineral wine from this chalky terroir. Finishes on a slightly bizarre salty / oyster flavour. Thicker than their Savigny but essentially the same wine. Just don't see this getting any better. Jacob's Creek anyone?
