Henri et Paul Jacqueson Rully 1er Cru Grésigny 1992

Henri et Paul Jacqueson Rully 1er Cru Grésigny 1992: A lemon-gold colour. Lovely toffee and ripe melon on the nose, developing smoky, oily notes with time. There is also some good, mealy oak. Deliciously elegant weight on the palate, with a fine balance of lemony, smoky fruit and moderate acidity. A slight astringency provides an interesting backbone to the midpalate, but towards the finish the wine rounds out to develop a fairly rich texture, still with that smoky and lemony streak. It has a mouthwatering finish. Lovely stuff. Very good. (26/11/00)
