2017 Bouchard Père et Fils Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières: An inviting nose of white peach, candied lemon and aniseed. It is full and fleshy, with a gentle exotic note playing in the background. It has the Perrieres steely line and a nice saline lick to the long and sappy finish.
2017 Domaine Jacques Carillon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Macherelles: Wide open and expressive. Great nose of aniseed, preserved lemon, spiced pear and white peach. It is full and sappy, with a fruit-sweet core. Flavours envelop the mouth and it has excellent density and drive. Length is really good. 2017 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre: A pure and fresh nose of iodine, mint and citrus. It is direct and detailed, yet rich and voluminous. Flavours are deep and underpinned by grapefruit-like acidity. It has excellent cut and length is outstanding.
The ripeness is a little more obvious in '17 for me as opposed to '14. The '17’s are also a lot more open-knit at this early juncture. Both outstanding vintages for mine.
