The 2001 Meursault-Charmes boasts a poached pear-scented nose and an elegant, fleshy, medium-bodied character. Rich yet beautifully detailed, it has a sappy personality loaded with complex hazelnut, white flower, and honeyed mineral flavors. This outstanding wine should be drunk over the next 10 years.
“Nature wasn’t kind to us in 2001,” said Jean-Marc Roulot, this estate’s director and winemaker, “therefore it is a winemaker’s vintage like 1998 was, but of better quality.” According to Roulot, his village parcels, though not the premier crus, were struck by the hail storm of August 2nd, 2001.
