Awww ooh aw elegance and subtle grace and hints coyly at all the things you desire and also pairs perfectly with mushrooms pasta and friends. Do it.

An exceptional vintage for whites with great concentration and structure; living up to its reputation 28 years later; still respectable fruit and acidity; these wines were made to age.

Classic Meursault - hazelnut, spiced apples / pears, minerality. Not the most complex example, but excellent village wine.

Life in the fast lane... Racy acidity integrated oak, opulent fruit. But the bank isn't quite broken yet.

2011. As Burgundy prices from the greatest producers will inevitably continue to rise, we'll have to reevaluate producers we'd written off in the past. While not sensational or game-changing, this was typical, well-made Meursault, not obscured by oak, ripeness or winemaking.
