Honeyed minerals and white flowers are found in the aromatics of the 2002 Meursault Les Luchets. Light to medium-bodied, fleshy, and long, its flavor profile is composed of toast, resiny minerals, and crisp pears. Projected maturity: now-2010. Jean-Marc Roulot loves the 2002s. “The north wind of early September concentrated all the grapes. It is a vintage like 1992, yet with lower yields. We gained three degrees of natural potential alcohol in one week.” He is convinced that these wines will age well because “they have perfect health, ripeness, and acidity.” Importers: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel.

Extremely racy and transparent, this electrifies the palate with its lime blossom, mineral and hazelnut notes. Tensile and resonant, it delivers a lot of flavor on a lithe, almost delicate frame. Well done. Drink now through 2012. 441 cases made.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Meursault Select to Add
