Tasting notes
The light to medium-bodied, elegant, and crystalline 2002 Meursault Les Vireuils sports a nose of fresh, spicy minerals. Hazelnut, stones, and quartz can be found in its pure, detailed character. It should be drunk over the next 5 years. 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.
