Product Description
A fine and powerful wine. On the bouquet, it reveals yellow fruit aromas, along with hazelnut and fresh buttery notes. A straightforward, full and very well-balanced wine with great length on the palate. Patience for at least a few years will allow it to open up superbly

Product details
Located just South of Volnay and Pommard in the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is the most extensive southerly white wine commune of the Côte-d'Or. Surprisingly enough for an appellation of this quality, no Grand Cru exists, however the high quality of the Premier Cru more then compensates for this. The ideal southerly exposure and the Jurassic limestone-based soil of the Poruzot contribute to the growing of ripe, fruity clusters. The wine has a rich, nutty, buttery, elegant bouquet followed by mouth-filling fruit flavours and a long aftertaste. "Poruzots" is the diminutive of "Porroux" meaning "stony place", which well describe the soil of this climate.
