Character and style Golden and brilliant colour. The floral nose, with a light vanilla touch, opens on white flowers (hawthorn) and the apple when it is young. In the mouth, the wine is ample, powerful but well balanced with a real freshness and we guess a precise and elegant and impressive style. After few years, the ground and the richness will improve and the time will brings more length on the palate. The finish is characterised by some delicate tannins.

Ageing and service To drink young or to keep until 10 years. Temperature of service: 13°C

Meursault is undoubtedly the wine for fish. Its purity and its smoothness never betray the flesh of fish. From a roasted bass with a simple net of olive oil till traditional cooks with sauces. The age of the wine will allow the most judicious choice. We will not forget the poultry’s, the calf, the quenelles: the entire best cook!
