Meursault Les Vireuils
Grape variety 100% Chardonnay
Servicing temperature 10-12°C
Ageing 6-8 ans
Plot
South of Beaune, between Volnay and Puligny-Montrachet, the Meursault vineyard opens a golden door, that of "La Côte des Blancs". On this exceptional terroir, the wines of Meursault magnify the expression of Chardonnay.
Vinification / Aging
The grapes are pressed directly after harvest, then alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in oak barrels. Aging lasts around 12 months before preparation for bottling.
Tasting
This Meursault Les Vireuils is green-gold in color, leaning towards bronze as it ages. Clear and brilliant, it presents silvery reflections. The young wine evokes roasted almonds and hazelnuts in a floral and mineral (flint) decoration. Butter, honey and citrus fruits are also present. On the palate, it is rich and fat with a cheerful and appealing nutty taste.
Food and wine pairing
The aromatic power and its exceptional balance based on fat and acidity make it one of the great lords of Burgundy, hence a natural penchant for noble meats and fish with good texture, such as grilled crustaceans and sauce. Even blue cheeses and foie gras adopt it on the first try.
