Tasting notes
Complex nose melds orange, crushed stone, oatmeal and oak spices. Rich, dense and sweet, with very good breadth and healthy framing acidity. This offers volume and power and finishes with excellent subtle persistence. A lovely 2002 that should really be laid down for five or six years.

The 2002 Meursault Genevrieres has a nose of lilies, yellow plums, creamed spices, and white peaches. Its medium-bodied, expansive personality coats the palate with minerals, flowers, and apples. In its lengthy finish, a hint of alcoholic warmth could be discerned. Drink it between 2005 and 2011. Remi Jobard waited until the 22nd to begin harvesting his Chardonnay crop. “It was important to let the grapes ripen.” His father Charles, who always attends my tasting, said that he would tell me in two or three years what he thought of the 2002s. “That’s when I like to drink wines. The older I’ve gotten, the younger I like my wines.” Interestingly, this is a refrain I’ve heard a great deal recently, most notably from my father. Time will tell if this is the wisdom of the experienced. Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
