Pascal Clement Meursault 2016
Meursault, Côte de Beaune, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceFrom the warmer, lower side of Merusault, this was native fermented in foudres, where it was held for a year. Pascal, well known for his exceptional white wines, loves using older foudre for his whites, as he feels it brings out the saltiness in the wine. Pascal also never uses batonnage on his wines, leaving them on full lees in barrels after pressing. Honeycomb, brown butter, waves of ash, and potent hazelnut fill a more generous palate, held taut with pristine acidity. Classic yet modern Meursault, drinking beautifully now, but will certainly grow with cellaring.Tasted: 08 November 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:Grape: Chardonnay
