Meursault 1er Cru "LES CHARMES"

General
Grape Variety : Chardonnay
Region           : Burgundy

Winemaking
The wine is matured traditionaly for 10 to 16 months without any racking (no
change of cask). It is during this period that it gently gains in structure and
complexity with the help of periodic "bâtonnage" (stirring-up of lees), malolactic
fermentation (natural degradation of the acids) and the exchanges with the barrels
(olfactive and oxido-reductive exchanges). Light filtration before bottling
completes maturation without damaging the harmony and natural aging potential
previously acquired.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold crystalline in colour with straw yellow glints. It has a intense nose with
delicate smoked wooded hints. Notes of dried fruit, hazelnuts and a hint of
minerality. The palate is well-balanced, powerful with a good lenght. Lightly
melted and harmonious tannins.

Food Pairing
This wine is to be served at 12°C with fine fish or seafood in elaborate sauces, meat
in white sauces, foie gras.
