In the glass, it’s a deep, shimmering straw-gold with hints of green at the rim, with a ripe and inviting nose of yellow apple, white peach, lime blossom, fresh cream, white flowers, and crushed stones. It is medium-plus in body yet racy and mineral at the same time—a classic Meursault profile that is already well-articulated at this young age. Give this wine 45 minutes in a decanter and allow the temperature to creep up past 50 degrees to allow its full range of aromas and flavors to blossom, and be sure to lay a few bottles down to revisit in 5-7 years’ time—when it promises to be a downright explosive, opulent white wine. I love the mixture of mineral purity and unabashed luxury in this wine; this is what Meursault is all about! Pair it with a rich and satisfying seafood preparation as in the attached lobster bisque recipe. Very luxurious indeed! Enjoy!
