Chateau De Meursault, Meursault Perrieres 1er Cru, 2016
🏰 The 2016 vintage in Meursault, despite starting with frost and resulting in smaller crops, ultimately produced excellent white wines due to cool, dry, and sunny weather through September. This vintage is unfolding to be an amazing one, offering more tension than the 2015s. Château de Meursault, under new ownership, has undergone significant refurbishment and fine-tuning, with its white wines achieving a high standard. The Meursault Perrières 1er Cru is from a highly regarded vineyard, with one particular plot originating from an old quarry, planted in 1977. Expect ripe, full-fruited aromas and flavours of brioche and hazelnut, alongside touches of honeysuckle, white and yellow fruits. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple texture, vibrant acidity, and a persistent finish, often concluding with notes of toasted bread and vanilla.
🍴 This elegant white Burgundy pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, including delicate fish, shellfish, and poultry. Consider serving it with turbot in a rich sauce, or various cheeses.
🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory lunch, or as a thoughtful gift for a Burgundy enthusiast. 【Excellent quality despite low yields due to frost in 2016】
