The nose by this stage had only a hint of the alpine herbiness typical of younger examples and on the palate was very rich and full-bodied. The acidity seemed relatively low but the whole was complete and long. (JR)

Dominique Lafon declassified the young vine production from the 1999 Meursault Genevrieres, blending it with his regular Meursault Villages cuvee (a full 25% of the Genevrieres). The result is a Genevrieres that possesses deep aromas of star anise-laden white fruits. Medium-bodied and satin-textured, it is a more elegant wine than usual. Delicate, lace-like, toasted hazelnuts and pears can be discerned in its well-defined personality. The finish is long and crystalline. Anticipated maturity: now-2007. Importers: Various including Classic Wine Imports, Boston, MA; tel: (617) 731-6644, and Ex Cellars, Solvang, CA; tel (805) 686-9153.
