The 2021 Meursault Luchets stands out this year, unwinding in the glass with aromas of lime zest, white flowers, freshly baked bread and bee pollen. Medium-bodied, satiny and racy, it's elegant and seamless, with a bright spine of acidity and a long, saline finish.

A particular highlight this year is the 2020 Meursault Luchets, a beautifully balanced wine that wafts from the glass with notions of citrus oil, white flowers, nougat and orange oil. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's deep and tightly wound, with an intensely mineral profile.

Mingling notes of white flowers and orange oil with hints of crisp orchard fruit, warm bread and blanched almonds, the 2019 Meursault Luchets is medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a concentrated core of fruit, tangy acids and a long, saline finish. Again, this is quite demonstrative at this early stage, but I suspect it will tighten up with another winter on the lees.

The 2018 Meursault Luchets has turned out nicely, unwinding in the glass with hints of minty orchard fruit, fresh bread, oyster shells, dried white flowers and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied and elegantly fleshy but precise, it's seamless and elegant, with fine mid-palate amplitude and a beautifully defined finish.

A touch more muscular and textural than the Vireuils that preceded it, the 2017 Meursault Les Luchets reveals a lovely bouquet of Anjou pear, confit lemon, citrus zest, dried white flowers and nutmeg. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with succulent acids and chalky structuring dry extract. This is a terrific Luchets that is well worth seeking out.
