Description
Top-end, traditionally made meursault, making my mouth water just thinking about it; oak, minerals, citrus, ripe fruit oh my
Meursault lies between the villages of Volnay and Puligny-Montrachet and produces some of the world’s greatest white wines. The Mersault has rich green-gold colour and heady, lightly oaky but seductive nutty bouquet; the palate is pretty fat and buttery but cut with toasty hazlenut flavours and long mineral balance.
Advancements in the vineyards have been purposely limited at this very traditional Burgundy producer. Since yeasts are an expression of the individual vintage and vineyard, no artificial yeasts are used. 3-4 times a day the pulp is trodden by foot to further extract colour and flavour. Wines are not filtered but checked by candlelight, then bottled directly from barrel by hand on a cask by cask basis. According to Louis “Burgundy must not be fruity – this is no good for great wine …. Short cask ageing and early bottling are the denaturing of real Burgundy … only a long period in wood, followed by a long period in bottle will produce finesse, breed and elegance”.
