The potentially outstanding Meursault Les Chevalieres possesses a mouth-watering bouquet of hazelnut butter-cream. Medium-to-full-bodied, velvety, wide, and refined, this wine has beautifully defined floral and citrus fruit flavors. It should be at its best between 2000 and 2005.
In Jobard's opinion, the key to producing great white Burgundies in 1996 was to harvest late, allowing the grapes to produce higher natural sugar levels than were present at the ban de vendange.
