Tasting notes
Light to medium-bodied and exhibiting a nose of quartz, citrus fruits, and spices, the 2001 Meursault Les Luchets has a flavorful personality studded with spices, lemon drops, and minerals. This crystalline, lace-like offering displays excellent depth of fruit and an admirable finish. It should be consumed over the next 5 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.

Enticing aromas of lemon drop and sweet oak. Sweeter, more textured but a bit less precise than the Meix Chavaux. Lots of oak showing today, which gives the finish a faint dry edge. A sample from another barrel was cleaner and longer, if not particularly expressive.
