Dominique is fairly sure he will bottle the 2012 Meursault les Desiree separately, this tiny 0.45-hectare parcel of infant vines planted in 2008 often blended with another cru. Cropped at 20 hectoliters per hectare, it has a crisp, citrus driven bouquet with good penetration. The palate is fresh and vibrant with citrus driven fruit, gaining weight and energy towards the spice-tinged finish. Yes - I think this is worth bottling separately.
