Produced from an assemblage of Lalou Bize-Leroy’s parcels of Pre de Manche and Chaumes de Perrieres, the 2001 Meursault reveals toasted nuts, buttered pears, as well as spices in its aromatic and flavor profiles. Fruit-forward, medium-bodied, and silky-textured, it is a sensual, pure, flavorful, and impressively long wine. Drink it over the next 7 years. Importer: Martine’s Wines, San Raphael, CA; tel.
