Tasting notes
A touch more muscular and textural than the Vireuils that preceded it, the 2017 Meursault Les Luchets reveals a lovely bouquet of Anjou pear, confit lemon, citrus zest, dried white flowers and nutmeg. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with succulent acids and chalky structuring dry extract. This is a terrific Luchets that is well worth seeking out.

This is his biggest holding – more than 1 ha (2.5 acres). Tank sample. Some vines planted 2006, remainder 50–60 years old. In tank on full lees since August. Just a touch mealy/creamy on the nose and a spicy orange note. Creamy on the palate and that lovely ripeness balanced by a crisp line of limey fruit. Rich in the mouth. (JH)
