Chardonnay
150cl * 13% ABV * Burgundy, France
The stony soil to which the vines cling inspired the name of this exceptional climat: Perrières. This Premier Cru has long been highly appreciated for its finesse and purity. Back in the mid-nineteenth century, the oenologist M. de Vergnette wrote in a study that ‘After the true Montrachet, I know of no white wine so exquisite’. Later, Dr Lavalle listed it as Tête de cuvée in his 1855 classification.
This Meursault, in the words of its maker is, 'A very pure, very elegant wine, with citrus fruit and a saline, chiselled edge.' The wine has a complex bouquet with floral notes with delicate hints of wood from its extended time aging in barrel. It has complexity with well integrated acid and mineral flavour profiles. It has had good time to mature in bottle and this wine will be at its peak in this magnum bottle.
