Palate: lemon, brioche, flint, saline

The reference Meursault premier cru: intensely flinty and mineral, with citrus, hazelnut and a saline length.

What it pairs with

  • Roast turbot in beurre blanc
    A rich grand-cru white carries the firm white fish and its buttery sauce without being overwhelmed.
  • Poulet de Bresse a la creme
    The prized Bresse chicken in cream sauce mirrors a barrel-aged Meursault's weight and nut-and-butter palate.
  • Aged Comte
    Nutty alpine cheese amplifies a mature Chardonnay's hazelnut and brown-butter notes.
