Tasting notes
Hugely ripe yellow fruits and spices explode from the glass of the 2001 Meursault. This buttery, medium-bodied, satin-textured wine is loaded with pears and apples. Supple, suave, and dense, it retains appealing freshness. This highly expressive wine should be consumed over the next 5 years. Dominique Lafon is on fire, in a zone, on top of his game. He’s never made better wines, and he improves with each passing vintage.

(some juice from premier cru young vines will be added to the blend, which has gotten a good bit of batonnage Exotic soft citrus aromas of orange and tangerine. Sweet and citrusy in the mouth, with decent acidity framing the fruit. Slightly dry on the finish.
