While Roulot typically produces 6 barrels of Meursault Charmes (white), in 2003 only 1.5 barrels were made due to nature’s wrath. Its spicy, buttery aromatics lead to a medium-bodied personality filled with white fruits, creamed almonds, and anise. Expressive, soft, and satin-textured, this lovely wine is a candidate for drinking over the next 5-6 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel.
