Tasting notes
The 2000 Meursault Les Cras was vinified and aged entirely in 350 liter "Boillot" barrels, 30% of which were new. An exquisite wine, it explodes from the glass with rich apple and pear aromas. Medium to full-bodied and super-ripe, this is an immensely rich, layered offering, with loads of minerals, white fruits, and spices. It is fresh, refined, and reveals enormous breadth as well as concentration. Projected maturity: now-2010. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083

Apple and mint on the nose; still a trace of malic acidity. Sweet and supple but with excellent concentration and snap. Finishes firm, with very good grip.
