Tasting notes
Spiced butter can be discerned in the aromatics of the 2001 Meursault Les Meix Chavaux. On the palate, this light-bodied, vivacious offering reveals butterscotch-laced lemony flavors. Drink it over the next 2 years. “Nature wasn’t kind to us in 2001,” said Jean-Marc Roulot, this estate’s director and winemaker, “therefore it is a winemaker’s vintage like 1998 was, but of better quality.” According to Roulot, his village parcels, though not the premier crus, were struck by the hail storm of August 2nd, 2001.

Minerally nose. Juicy and sweet but leaner than the Vireuils. Still, this lively, lemony wine offers good length and noteworthy purity of flavor.
