Father’s Day dinner was fresh caught seafood with beurre blanc so meursault seemed appropriate but this surprised with plentiful acid and flinty minerality

Perrières, believed by many to yield the best of Meursault, rich but with some elegance, buttered toast, citrus, spices and a steely minerality

Bright and pungent nose of honey, baked pear and apple, stoney minerality and some funk. The palate is leaner and taught with a salinity and mineral core. Good acids, ample weight, good length.

04 whites continue to show their pedigree as wines for purists. Stripped down and honest. True pleasure
