Vintage information 2000:

A super year for whites, concentrated, certainly ripe but good balancing acidity.
The reds are clearly from a 'ripe' vintage but all started quite delicious. Then followed a mawkish phase. Occasional Côte de Nuits wines can even rival the imperious 99s though the average quality is a lower. In the Côte de Beaune, most wines were wonderfully ripe, joyous even on release. Many recent bottles are back to form - even with hints of maturity, but do yourself a favour and wait a little longer for your grand crus...

2000 Hospices de Beaune, Meursault Genevrières Philippe le BonJul. 2005
Hospices reserve. Medium golden colour. A deep, waxy and quite exotic nose. The palate shows a super waxy-smooth texture, depth and interest coupled with a real mid-palate punch. This wine is very long too. I had to take a second glass – super.
