(WA90-92 points) The 2012 Meursault Clos de la Barre comes from 2.12-hectares of vines planted between 1950 and 2004. It has a light, slightly more resinous bouquet with touches of honeysuckle. The palate is well balanced with a rounded opening: hints of dried apricot and a spicy vein towards the finish. This is an intriguing Meursault undecided how good it wants to be. I look forward to finding out after bottling. - Neal Martin

This is aromatically riper than its 2013 counterpart with its attractively layered mix of dried yellow orchard fruit and roasted almond scents. The succulent, round, very rich and seriously concentrated medium-bodied flavors possess an almost juicy mouth feel before terminating in a punchy, balanced and lingering finish. This delivers excellent quality for a villages level wine and is worthy of your interest.
