Meursault Clos de Mazeray Village appellation
Free Text
2001 is a vintage that was affected by challenging weather.
A hail storm in the Côte de Beaune in early August did considerable damage in Beaune, Volnay and Pommard. Results: The wines are best enjoyable when young and fruity, and should not be aged for too long.
The Côte de Nuits did better, producing very elegant, refined wines with great varietal character.Grape Variety & Plot size
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir on a 0.55 hectare plot
