Current condition

Youthful with good freshness, primary citrus and mineral notes well integrated

The wine’s structure—with vibrant acidity, moderate alcohol, and expressive terroir character—supports long aging. The 2019 vintage’s ripe fruit balanced by freshness in Meursault’s renowned terroir allows development of nuanced secondary and tertiary notes starting around year 5 and persisting well beyond year 10.

Food pairing

Pairs beautifully with shellfish (lobster, scallops), rich seafood dishes, roasted chicken, creamy cheeses, and mushroom risottos
