Another bright, focused wine, the 2010 Meursault Clos du Cromin shows richer, more yellow tonalities in its fruit than the Corbins, with light honeyed notes that add complexity, roundness and depth. This is an inviting wine from Francois Bitouzet. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. (Not yet released) I find much to like in Francois Bitouzet’s 2010 whites. The wines are a bit tighter (in a good way) and more focused than they have been at times. Bitouzet told me he used just the heart of the press, as he wasn’t totally happy with the first press juice. Bitouzet did very little batonnage in 2010, a decision that seems to have paid off handsomely. The harvest started on September 22, quite late, and the malos were lengthy, as they were virtually everywhere. Bitouzet bottled his 2010 whites in March 2012.
