The 2009 Meursault Chevalieres offers good up-front juiciness, but ultimately comes across as quite heavy and lacking the energy of the best wines here. This is a fairly straightforward effort. Anticipated maturity: 2012+.
I found myself most attracted to the entry-level wines at Matrot. A number of the basic offerings are absolutely joyous, but the more important wines aren’t markedly more complex in my view. Only the villages-level Meursault is disappointing.
