Ropiteau 2000 Les Perrieres Chardonnay (Meursault)
- $49
Intense, feminine aromas such as talc, vanilla, mineral and pear waft from the nose. Lots of pear bursts from the palate, with an overlay of stone and nougat flavors. Finishes long with a glycerine-like texture and lean pear-skin and mineral flavors. If this sounds good to you, better hurry—only 100 cases were made.

Ropiteau 2000 Les Rougeots Chardonnay (Meursault)
- $37
The Les Rougeots may be fat, honeyed and fleshy in the mouth, but it has a sturdy citrus, pear and mineral core that gives it structure. Anise, lemon cream and pear aromas start things off, with hints of lemon pith on the finish.

Ropiteau 2000 Les Tillets Chardonnay (Meursault)
- $37
It’s medium-bodied but on the dry side, courtesy of the citrus (namely, grapefruit) and toast flavors on the palate. The bouquet smolders with toasty smokehouse and cashew notes over melon aromas. Finishes with lemon and more cashew.

Ropiteau 2002 Meursault Les Mougeots Chardonnay (Meursault)
- $50
This wine just breathes ripe Chardonnay. It is a fat wine but still manages nice balance. Flavors of vanilla and caramel lead to sweet quince and topical fruits.

Ropiteau 2000 Clos des Chenes Pinot Noir (Volnay)
- $38
Ripe, high-toned mixed berry and smokehouse aromas segue into a palate with a dusty, chalky mouthfeel over black fruit and oak flavors. Mineral, anise and earth battle it out on the long finish.

Ropiteau 2000 Les Trezin Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- $40
This wine is full in the mouth and shows pear, toast and dried spice flavors on the palate, and spice and mineral on its long finish. Opens with citrus rind and a soft, buttery custard or brioche note. One reviewer found a metallic tang part of the flavor profile; this is one to try for yourself.

Ropiteau 2000 Premier Cru Chardonnay (Rully)
- $18
A slightly creamy note adds a sweet foil to lemon, pear and white peach aromas. A hints of minerals on the palate (thanks to the clay in the area’s soil) keeps the pear, apple, and peach flavors lean. Medium-bodied, with lemon notes and good length on the finish. A full-of-fruit, easy drinker.

Ropiteau 2000 Pinot Noir (Meursault)
- $20
Plummy, cherry fruit shows on the nose after a few minutes in the glass; black cherry and dry earth flavors whisper from the palate. Finishes dry, with some bitter chocolate and herbal notes.
