Hugely ripe yellow fruits and spices explode from the glass of the 2001 Meursault. This buttery, medium-bodied, satin-textured wine is loaded with pears and apples. Supple, suave, and dense, it retains appealing freshness. This highly expressive wine should be consumed over the next 5 years.
Dominique Lafon is on fire, in a zone, on top of his game. He’s never made better wines, and he improves with each passing vintage.
