Roulot's Meursault Les Luchets has a smoke and mineral-infused nose as well as a lemon-drop, metallic and crisp pear-flavored, medium-bodied, rich, and ample personality. Its impressive ripeness, refinement and length go a long way to prove that "village appellation" wines can attain excellence. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2006. The rating, with the range of scores in parentheses, indicates the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.

Delicious for its balance and ripe smoothness. A beautiful, full-bodied Meursault that has loads of acidity buffered by pear, toasted oak and tropical flavors and an herbal accent. Smoky, toasted notes come through on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2005.??–PM??Region: France / Burgundy / Meursault Select to Add
