Meursault 2018
-
Golden in color, the nose offers rich and complex aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and vanilla. The palate, rich and creamy, distills the richness of the vintage, highlighting this Chardonnay's buttery, brioche character as well as notes of honey and amber rum. In spite of the heat during the 2018 growing season, this Chardonnay has an incredibly fresh and mineral finish.
