Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Meursault opens with inviting aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and citrus blossom, complemented by classic Meursault notes of hazelnut and subtle brioche. The palate is layered and silky, featuring vibrant mineral-driven acidity that enhances flavors of lemon curd, baked apple, and toasted almond, leading to a long, refined finish. Its purity and finesse make it an excellent partner for seared scallops, roast chicken with tarragon, or a delicate shrimp and tofu stir-fry, showcasing versatility and sophistication in food pairings.
