Abandoned Villa Maria again last night in favour of something grander. Something grand enough to get within sight of the end of dreary Vera. Failed at the penultimate break.
But the 2017 Meursault was good, and I did not tire of it in the way I had tired of the Saint Aubin noticed at reference 1.
From Sainsbury's, with the full description being 'Stéphane Brocard Closerie des Alisiers Meursault Vieilles Vignes, Cote de Beaune, France'. A chap who has not been at it that long, coming from a family chablisienne, but who now goes in for a much bigger range: '... propose une large gamme de vins qui s'étend entre le Mâconnais et la Côte d'Or notamment sur les appellations Mâcon-Villages, Pouilly-Fuissé, Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Volnay ou encore Meursault pour en citer quelques unes ...'. Is he spreading himself too thin?
Reference 1: http://psmv4.blogspot.com/2019/06/saint-aubin.html.
Reference 2: http://www.stephane-brocard.com/. The wrong Brocard. Perhaps these wine people are more interested in wine than in websites and content themselves with a presence on Facebook, rather than going to the bother of building something that I can see.
