Orange, apricot, clove and hazelnut on the nose. Sweet, supple and fruity but on the soft side. Finishes with decent length and a slight dry edge I did not find in the basic village bottling.

Score 90-92/100 · Drink 2005-2012, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2005

Minerals and flowers are found in the aromatic profile of the 2003 Meursault Desiree (white). Buttery, angle-free, and bright, it offers a spicy light to medium-bodied personality that is flavorful, deep, and reveals gorgeous depth of fruit. In addition, this wine displays a lengthy finish with just enough freshness for lift. Drink it over the next 6-7 years. Importers: Daniel Johnnes/Jeroboam Wines, New York, NY; tel.

Distinctly exotic aromas of orange liqueur, pineapple, licorice, lichee and sweet oak. Fat, sweet, unctuous and soft. Boasts impressive stuffing but shows some alcoholic warmth. But this avoids dryness on the finish. It will be very interesting to see how this turns out-i. e. , whether it gains in structure with elevageor loses all sense of shape.
