2000 Meursault Les Charmes

The mineral, apple, and pear-scented 2000 Meursault Charmes is a wine that combines both power and finesse. It explodes on the palate with candied pear, butter, anise, and spiced apple flavors that, while highly expressive, seem delicate and lace-like. It is medium-bodied, precise, and exceptionally long in the finish. Drink it over the next 10 years. Importers: Various including Classic Wine Imports, Boston, MA; tel.
