The 2000 Meursault Goutte d'Or explodes from the glass with buttered spices, smoky pears, and toasted apples. Medium to full-bodied and velvety-textured, this is a soft, juicy, plump wine. Copious quantities of super-ripe white fruits can be found throughout its expressive character as well as in its admirably long, pure finish. Projected maturity: now-2010.
