The 2002 Meursault Meix Chavaux boasts a gorgeous minerality. Medium-bodied, rich, ample, and suave, it is crammed with spicy pears and candied apples. This lush, velvety-textured wine should be drunk over the next 5 years.

A somewhat reserved nose of hay and dried grass is followed by fat, rich, pure and remarkably precise flavors that are sappy, rich, punchy and nicely textured, all wrapped in a nervous, slightly edgy and dry finish of fine intensity. This is really quite lovely in a more restrained style.
