Note di degustazione
The 2005 Meursault Les Virieuils is a pleasurable, if curious Meursault. It has a strident, slightly oxidative bouquet, though analyzing the wine over a period of time, I came to the conclusion that it is not a sign of premature oxidation, rather a character of the wine. One can discern attractive scents of lemon thyme and even a hint of licorice. The palate is well-balanced, with a strong grilled walnut streak from start to finish, a suggestion of white chocolate developing with aeration. The finish does have an oxidative element that cannot go unnoticed, although at the end of the day, this is a pleasing Meursault that I would prefer to drink in the near future. Tasted March 2014.

(bottled in January of 2007) Citrus fruits and minerals on the nose. Juicy, minerally and taut, with an underlying stony character and firm acidity giving this very solid backbone. This has turned out well.
Slightly funky aromas of smoky oak, earth and nuts. Rich, nutty and dry, with a peach flavor. Broad but not particularly sweet. A trace of malic acidity detracts from the purity of the fruit. Finishes with good length, though.
