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. Surprisingly enough for an appellation of this quality, no Grand Cru exists, however the high quality of the 1er Cru more then compensates for this. An exclusive of Maison Louis Latour (monopole), the vineyards constituting the estate of the Chateau de Blagny are located high on the hillside overlooking Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Chateau de Blagny is the most important domaine in the commune.
Tasting note
Our Meursault Premier Cru << Chateau de Blagny >> 2013 has a pale yellow color. The nose is intense and complex with notes of toasted almond, fresh butter, vanilla and yellow peach. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced between fullness and persistence. A lot of elegance with notes of almond and fresh hazelnut.
Food pairing
Rock lobster - Salmon with sorrel sauce - pan-fried chanterelles - cheese
