Domaine Boyer-Gontard
2011 Meursault
Made from several different parcels in the Meursault appellation, the harmony between wood and wine makes this Chardonnay a very generous wine with a strong bouquet.
People use “bouquet” to describe the suite of scents in a wine. It’s an especially appropriate word here: the wine smells like a bouquet of fresh cut flowers. Lots of minerality on the palate, lasting through to the finish. Great structure and good ageing potential. One to lay down for future enjoyment.
Food pairing: Baked brie
