Amiot-Servelle produces fruity wines in which balance and elegance prevail, and this 2010 vintage is no exception. Fresh and nicely aromatic. Expressive aromas of white flowers, brioche, hazelnut and a hint of vanilla. Nice amplitude in the mouth, with a lovely intensity of white flowers, hazelnut, pear and vanilla. Elegant and refined, this Bourgogne blanc offers a harmonious balance, a hint of minerality and a very pleasant finish.

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$155 list] Really ripe wine, with toast and yellow fruits, laced with intense citric acidity and a mineral edge, to go with the mouthwatering fruit. Needs to age for 5-6 years. (May 2011)"
92 points Fine Wine Review: "The Meursault-Blagny Sous le Dos d'Ane is clear, pure, and smooth with finesse and subtle lime and minerality. The texture is silky and drawn. (Issue #133; 2011)"
91 points Wine & Spirits: "[$155 list] Bound up in its mineral intensity, this wine layers fossil-rich limestone with ginger and green apple brightness. The acidity is markedly high, giving a vibrant edge to all the toastiness and saline earthiness. This needs several years to settle into its structure, and it could prove to be great. (Apr 2011)"
90+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Meursault was the first wine in the cellar to finish up its malo this year and was showing very well in November. The nose on the’08 offers up a lovely mélange of lemon, delicious apples, chalky soil tones, a touch of orange, white flowers and a discreet framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is fullish, complex and succulent, with good mid-palate depth, fine focus and lovely intensity and cut on the long backend. A lovely bottle. 2010-2025. (Nov/Dec 2009)"
90 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "($155 list; bottled three weeks before my visit) Bright yellow. Ripe stone fruits, grilled almond and vanilla on the nose, lifted by a spicy element. Good sweet, fleshy Meursault, conveying more precision and an impression of firmer acidity than the Puligny villages-perhaps a positive effect of the bottling. Finishes with very good length. I like this. (Sep/Oct 2010)"
