Chalk, stone, and nut aromas are found in the well-balanced, expansive, complex, and ripe Meursault Les Tillets Mise Speciale. Vibrant, bright, and rich, this medium-to-full-bodied wine is filled with minerals, earth, and touches of lemon peel. Projected maturity: 1999-2003. What's Javillier's spin on the 1996 vintage? "It has the most perfect balance between body, acid, fruit, extract, and purity in my lifetime." All the "regular cuvees" were bottled in September, 1997.
