Tasting notes
Bright, pale yellow-green. Cool, slightly reduced aromas of lemon, lime and clove. Boasts very good energy but less nuance than the young 2014. I like the sugar/acid balance here but the finish is a bit sharper than the 2014.

The 2013 Meursault les Meix Chavaux has a sense of symmetry on the nose, a little more delicate than the Vireuils with a hint of lavender and potpourri that develops with time in the glass. However, it is not inclined to give much away at the moment. The palate has a twist of bitter lemon on the entry that imports edginess and tension to this Meursault. This is a little wilder than Les Vireuils, a touch spicier with a hint of white fennel toward the finish. This is superb, one of the most outgoing Meix Chavaux that Jean-Marc Roulot has overseen. How can so much pleasure fit into a wine glass?
On the base of slope so quite clayey. Solid and chewy. Just a tad ungainly though it has lots of acidity. Very youthful. (JR)
Musky, brisk aromas of soft citrus fruits and acacia blossom. Sappy and intense, showing a distinctly crunchy quality to the soft citrus and floral flavors. Offers an attractive balance of sweetness and fresh acidity.
