Helen Masters was named New Zealand Winemaker of the Year by Gourmet Traveller Wine

This is a classic Nuits that is built-to-age and will need it

The visit was capped off by previews of the 2004 Cristal and the as-yet-unreleased Cristal Rose

This extremely promising and stylish effort will need to develop better depth to merit the upper end of my projected range but if it does this could be brilliant

Bigger and richer than the Chapelle if not quite as intense or fine with beautifully complex

Chateau Meursault, Meursault Perrieres Blanc Vintage:2014 Helen Masters was named New(from a 1. 1 ha parcel). A discreet touch of wood sets off a ripe, fresh and once again completely classic Meursault nose of hazelnut, floral scents and softly spiced pear aromas that include a touch of mineral reduction. The exceptionally rich but also strikingly intense broad shouldered flavors exude both an abundance of dry extract as well as minerality, all wrapped in a classy, focused and beautifully harmonious finish. Excellent. (91 93) 2027+
