Score 88-90/100 · Drink 2005, Robert Parker, Jun 1999

The 1997 Meursault En l'Ormeau is produced from vines that are over 45 year old. Exhibiting dense white fruit aromas, this wine has a medium-to-full body and a stunning flavor profile composed of yellow plums, candied hazelnuts, acacia, and sea salt. Most importantly, it is well-balanced, with a thick texture yet a fresh personality (this rare combination is a characteristic I most associate with Coche's wines). Projected maturity: now-2005. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.

Ripe, lively mandarin and orange peel aromas. Ripe, pure citrus flavors offer good density and excellent cut. Finishes spicy and strong.
