The mouth-watering aromatics of the 2002 Meursault Goutte d’Or are reminiscent of super-ripe apples, hazelnuts, minerals, and slate. A massive, overpoweringly concentrated effort, it matches great ripeness with extraordinary balance and depth. A resin of minerals and smoky wax are found in its complex, nuanced personality. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2016.
