Description
Situated just south of Volnay and Pommard in the Cote de Beaune, Meursault is the most
extensive southerly white wine commune of the Cote-d'Or. The perfect south-easterly exposure
and the stony, marl soil contribute greatly to the remarkable finesse of which the wines of
Meursault are capable. Typical Meursault tend to be very full, mellow wines and mature
somewhat sooner than the wines from the neighbouring communes of Puligny and Chassagne.
Tasting notes
This wine has a bouquet of toasted almonds, honey and candied lemon. In the mouth there are again aromas of acacia honey and also toasted and vanilla notes. It is a powerful and round wine.
Food pairing
Prawn cocktail avocado - grilled sea bass - stew of veal in a cream sauce - Beaufort cheese
