Description
Situated just south of Volnay and Pommard in the Cote de Beaune, Meursault is the most extensive southerly white wine commune of the Cte-d’Or. Surprisingly enough for an appellation of this quality, no Grand Cru exists, however the high quality of the 1er Cru more then compensates for this. An exclusive of Maison Louis Latour (monopole), the vineyards constituting the estate of the Chateau de Blagny are located high on the hillside overlooking Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Chteau de Blagny is the most important domaine in the commune.
The Meursault 1er Cru “Chteau de Blagny” has a pale yellow color. The nose is greedy with aromas of acacia flower and brioche. It reveals notes of grilled almond in the mouth. This 1er Cru has a nice tension and a lot of freshness.
Pair with rock lobster, salmon with sorrel sauce, pan-fried chanterelles, or cheese.
