Classic Meursault, big and bold with a rounded texture. That said, the wine does have a crisp edge of green apples to balance the spiced toast, which is very evident at this stage. ——R.V.(9/1/2011)—— 87

A wine with just the right Meursault opulence already the dominant character. The wine is fat, ripe, not losing sight of acidity or freshness, combining yellow fruits with a crisp, citrus final streak.——R.V.(11/1/2010)—— 87

All the fat fruit of Meursault was at its best in 2005, and even Chanson’s use of high toast wood for aging the whites cannot hide it. Pineapple and peach flavors go with sweet yellow plums, juicy red apple acidity, and an exotic ginger and nutmeg spice that add complexity.——R.V.(5/1/2009)—— 88
