2019 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes Dessus, Michel Bouzereau, Burgundy, France

OVERVIEW

South of Volnay and Pommard, Meursault has no official grand cru however Les Charmes is considered the best vineyard in all of Meursault. This 2019 from Bouzereau is from an outstanding white Burgundy vintage and is already on song and packed with potential too. Unctuous and full of fresh, buttery notes, this wine is calling out for food and will make for a most welcome guest at any dinner party.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Here the wood influence is just a bit more prominent on the apple compote, matchstick, hazelnut and airy aromas where the evanescent acacia blossom nuances add a touch of elegance. There is better richness yet also lovely detail on the lightly stony flavors that possess a highly seductive texture, all wrapped in a long, complex and beautifully well-balanced finale. *Sweet Spot, Outstanding. 93 Points. Allan Meadows

FOOD PAIRING INSPIRATION

This 93 point Chardonnay from Meursault is made for dishes with textured seafood or chicken like a lobster thermidor or a creamy chicken dish like Chicken Fricassée. Mushroom based sauces and dishes also pair very well with Meursault.

VINTAGE AND WINEMAKING

2019 was an outstanding vintage in Burgundy for reds and whites. The 2019 growing season was extremely generous with plenty of sunshine providing ample ripeness and yet a racy acidity too, ideal for maturation.

PRODUCER NOTES

The Bouzereau domaine has been steadily growing in popularity over the years with consumers and critics alike. Although Michel founded the winery seven generations back it is now Jean-Baptiste Bouzereau who cultivates his ten hectares of vineyards in some outstanding nd envious Burgundian parcels.
