2016 Sylvain Dussort Meursault Vieilles Vignes
£58.00
This wine is a combination of grapes from vines aged 50 years and over, from several plots with complementary soil types – one with shallow soil and limestone slabs giving delicacy and length, another with much deeper soils composed of active limestone that brings richness and body. Together, this creates a harmonious and complex Meursault.
Harvesting is by hand and ageing is in barrels (with a maximum of 30% new oak) on the lees for 12 to 14 months.
Tasting Note: When young, this Meursault evokes ripe grapes, with green, floral aromas. After several years in bottle, it becomes rich and smooth, whilst retaining a freshness, with notes of honey and hazelnut.
Origin: Meursault, France
Blend: Chardonnay
