Interesting facts
Meursault is the standard of French Chardonnay and one of the best representatives of white Burgundy. The wines are well-balanced with round fruit notes and a rich fresh butter aroma due to aging in oak barrels. Characterized as silky and oily with a strong and long-lasting aftertaste.
