"Wonderful Meursault, as caressing and silky as they get. Refined yet extremely flavorful, silky but also vibrant, with deft use of toasted oak to give it a smoky, grilled character atop the pear, bread dough, butter and tropical flavors. Full-bodied, with an elegant, medium-intense finish that's not as oaky as Lafon's 1995 Perrières."
