Note di degustazione
The 2002 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru seems fully mature on the nose, to the point where I wondered whether there was a bit of premox. There is definitely a touch of oxidation that becomes pronounced. The palate seems rich and petrolly, lacking the nervosité associated with Roulot's wine. I won't score based on this. Tasted at the Meursault dinner in Hong Kong.

Subdued minerally nose. Dense, chewy and quite solid in the mouth, with captivating flavors of citrus peel, minerals, wet stone and marzipan. Big but not at all heavy. A very suave wine with the stuffing to age.
Pale straw. Savoury, dry nose – slightly toasty. Lots of acidity and extremely youthful without enormous weight. Well made but embryonic and introvert. (JR)
The slightly reduced 2002 Meursault Charmes was difficult to evaluate. It is fresh, pure, satiny-textured, and concentrated, yet in need of aeration. Given its components, it is certain this wine will be outstanding in time. Drink it between 2005 and 2011. 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.
