Tasting notes
Slightly reduced aromas of pineapple and wet stone. Broad but tight in the mouth, with very dry, mineral-driven flavors of pineapple, grapefruit and wet stone. This has plenty of volume but is still quite taut today.

Apples and minerals can be discerned in the aromatic profile of the 2002 Meursault Les Tessons. Medium-bodied and toasty, it is a mineral-dominated wine of excellent purity, depth, and length. Projected maturity: 2005-2011. Jean-Marc Roulot loves the 2002s. “The north wind of early September concentrated all the grapes. It is a vintage like 1992, yet with lower yields. We gained three degrees of natural potential alcohol in one week.” He is convinced that these wines will age well because “they have perfect health, ripeness, and acidity.” Importers: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel.
