Opening in the glass with notes of dried white flowers, waxy citrus rind, crisp Anjou pear and iodine, Roulot's 1996 Meursault Les Meix Chavaux is medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a racy spine of acidity and searing levels of concentration, concluding with a long and penetrating finish.

Creamy, mineral character is wonderful. Impressively thick and lush for a '96, this full-bodied white delivers plenty of citrus, honey and pear aromas and flavors, along with a slight grassy note. Lovely elegance in the midpalate bodes well for cellaring as it should keep its racy structure for years. Best after 2005.??–PM??Region: France / Burgundy / Meursault Select to Add
