The Meursault Village 2007 is still a very young wine and therefore somewhat reserved. Like the Saint-Aubin, it resembles the 2005. It has enormous potential and we can assure you that your patience will be rewarded. Despite its youth, it is a pleasure to taste and discover the many different aspects of this typical Meursault. In the nose we find lemon peel, grapefruit, fresh pineapple, floral notes and mint leaves. We find the pineapple again, juicy fruit and ripe grapes on the palate. Also a touch of butter is already present. The aftertaste gives a great finish. Try this wine while it’s young and make sure to have it in stock to let it mature. You can keep this wine for several years. The grapes in our Meursault Village are from two vineyards. A large part is from “Les Grands Charrons”, a vineyard in the south of Meursault, which is next to the premier cru vineyard of “Les Gouttes d’Or”. The other part is from “Les Pelles”, lying at a slightly lower altitude with a richer soil, that contains more clay.

Meursault is a great wine to combine with food, due to its balance between acidity, fat and fruit. We recommend asparagus (with salmon or ham), beef Stroganov, lobster, shrimps, scampi’s and dishes with creamy or buttery sauces and of course the classic combination with ripened French Brie cheese. By the way, these are precisely the dishes that go well with our Bourgogne Blanc (“Petit Meursault”) 2007 as well. Try the Meursault with blue cheese. Best served at 12 to 14 centigrades.
