Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 13 Feb 20
The 2017 Meursault En la Barre is quite introverted, opening in the glass with a gently reductive bouquet of dried white flowers, pear, citrus oil and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with broader shoulders than the domaine's regular Meursault, it's underpinned by a racy spine of acidity. This should really blossom with a little bottle age.

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2017 Meursault En La Barre has an earthy nose with hints of wild mushroom infusing the malic fruit. (There is just a touch of reduction, so plan on decanting if opening young.) The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a fine sense of energy and possibly a little more persistence on the finish compared with the nascent 2018.
