This wasn't bad for a relatively cheap ($18) Meursault, but it reinforces my theory that there simply aren't ANY good values in Burgundy's Côte d'Or region.
Elegant but somewhat low-key nose of honey and pear, with some stony earthiness underneath. Nice, simple flavors of smoky minerals and pear skin. Decent but somewhat short finish. Not a particularly distinguished white burgundy ("Les Chevalières" is not a premier cru vineyard), but I don't get to taste Meursaults that often, so it was worth the flyer to try it. 86. Got it at flickingerwines.com.
