Score 90-93/100 · Drink 2005, Robert Parker, Jun 1999

The 1997 Meursault Goutte d'Or can best be described as the En l'Ormeau on steroids. Earth, minerals, and white fruits bordering on sur-maturite explode from the glass. Quite powerful, this glycerin-imbued, oily, satin-textured, medium-to-full-bodied wine is crammed with sweet plums, toasted hazelnuts, and the same salty quality I noticed in the preceding offering. It should be succulent to drink from its release through at least 2005. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.

Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Complex aromas of lemon, orange peel, grapefruit, almond and hazelnut. Thicker and more layered in the mouth with no loss of clarity. Really round and succulent. Authoritative finish, especially for young vines.
