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 than 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 1er Cru "Chateau de Blagny" 2015 reveals a pretty yellow
colour with pale gold reflections. The nose offers notes of almond paste, vanilla, and yellow
fruits. The mouth is ample, well-balanced and presents aromas of dried fruit on a fresh final.
