Meursault 2006
In Stock
Situated just south of Volnay and Pommard in the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is the most extensive northerly white wine commune of the Côte-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 Meursaults tend to be very full, mellow wines and mature somewhat sooner than the wines from the neighbouring communes of Puligny and Chassagne. This wine typically shows flashes of lemon-yellow in the glass and a nose of youthful fruitiness, with aromas of fresh flowers and minerals. Crisp acidity and ample structure with hints of lemon zest. A fresh, up-front wine which promises grandeur.
