The outstanding almond cream and hazelnut cookie-scented 2002 Meursault Charmes is a lush, intense, fat and pure medium-bodied wine. Its rich, gorgeously expressive personality bursts forth with broad layers of minerals, assorted nuts, and pears. Drink this fruit-forward, decadent beauty over the next 6-7 years.
Remi Jobard waited until the 22nd to begin harvesting his Chardonnay crop. “It was important to let the grapes ripen.” His father Charles, who always attends my tasting, said that he would tell me in two or three years what he thought of the 2002s. “That’s when I like to drink wines. The older I’ve gotten, the younger I like my wines.” Interestingly, this is a refrain I’ve heard a great deal recently, most notably from my father. Time will tell if this is the wisdom of the experienced.
