The 2002 Meursault Les Meix-Chavaux from Lafouge is a lovely old school Meursault. In the bouquet matured yellow fruit with notes of melon, apple, hazelnuts and a nice citrus infused minerality. On the palate quite zappy acidity and a lovely fresh fruit – focused with very fine minerality for this level. A very impressive and lovely wine … much better than many of the “modern” styled Meursaults made in this vintage.
