Interesting expression here, quite front-loaded with oak, but very exotic and floral on the finish. White flowers and passion fruit. Very unique. A delicate, detailed style

Slight butter and popcorn on the nose. Yellow apples and underripe peaches. Burnt wood and match sticks notes showed up after a while. Rich on the palate yet retains razor sharp acidity.

What Meurault should taste like. Incredible acidity and fruit providing over a 60 second finish that quenches your thirst but leaves you wanting more. Enjoyed over an hour at dinner the wine continued to evolve - providing some incredible heft on the tongue for a white wine. Really loved this - drinking great now and should for many years to come.

Meursault. The way to my heart. This is just missing about 5 years.
