Tasting notes
The 2000 Meursault Goutte d'Or explodes from the glass with buttered spices, smoky pears, and toasted apples. Medium to full-bodied and velvety-textured, this is a soft, juicy, plump wine. Copious quantities of super-ripe white fruits can be found throughout its expressive character as well as in its admirably long, pure finish. Projected maturity: now-2010. Importers: Various including Classic Wine Imports, Boston, MA; tel. (617) 731-6644, and Beaune Imports.

Aromatic nose melds citrus skin, nut oil and a whiff of game. Silky, thick and very rich, with a hint of exotic fruits. Sweetness nicely leavened by bright acidity. Finishes silky and quite long.
