The Meursault reveals grapefruit and honeyed aromas more reminiscent of a super-ripe Sauvignon Blanc than Chardonnay. This delicious, silky-textured, medium-bodied and tangy wine explodes on the palate with sweet nuts and touches of pear jelly and orange marmalade. Drink now-2000. As Daniel Haas, this estate's US importer put it so succinctly, "Thierry hates new oak in white wine." Thierry Matrot, the gentleman in question, runs this domaine which bears his grandfather's name. In 1995, both his red and white offerings show perfectly ripe fruit, which, in the case of the whites, is particularly important as no new oak flavors are present to mask any flaws in the fruit.
