FEATURES
🏰 The 2014 Michel Bouzereau Meursault Perrieres 1er Cru is a 【highly regarded Premier Cru Meursault, displaying textbook characteristics at ten years of age】. It is known for its powerful lime notes, a round, sappy, and rich mid-palate, beautifully offset by penetrating acids and active limestone minerality, ending long in a spray of chalk. This Chardonnay offers a cool and wonderfully elegant nose of pear, green apple, and acacia blossom scents. The palate is broad and powerful, with apple aromas of volume and force, a very rich, pungent ripe character—almost sweet—but balanced by strong underlying acidity and a sherbetty minerality. It's a complex wine with high acidity, medium body, and a long finish, showing excellent complexity and balance.
🍴 This exquisite white Burgundy pairs wonderfully with rich fish like salmon or tuna, shellfish, and mild to soft cheeses. It also complements white meat with mushroom cream sauce, poultry, or veal with white sauce.
🥂 Perfect for a celebratory dinner, a special gathering, or as a sophisticated accompaniment to fine cuisine.
Serving suggestion: This wine is in a good place to consume now but has no rush. Serve chilled, around 12-14°C (54-57°F). Decanting for 20-30 minutes can help it open up.
