Pascal Marchand's second vintage as a white wine producer is also impressive. The super-impressive Meursault Meix Chavaux displays sweet, rich, and ripe white fruit aromas followed by an intense, medium-to-full-bodied, and dense character. Its flavor profile is composed of nuts, anise, minerals, and honeysuckle blossoms. This wine's opulent fruit works wonder with 1996's hallmark zesty acidity. The score, noted on a range and in parentheses, indicates that the wine was tasted from barrel.
