FEATURES
The 2011 vintage for white 布根地, including Meursault, was marked by an early and rapid growing season, leading to a precocious harvest in August. Despite not being as concentrated as the 2010s, the 2011 wines are celebrated for their purity of fruit, vibrant character, and fresh acidity, offering an elegant and classic profile that is delightful for early enjoyment. Specifically, the Vincent Dancer Meursault Perrières 1er Cru 2011 is noted for its great precocity and lovely ripe berries.
Tasting notes reveal a wonderful color and a captivating nose of acacia, honey, and toasted hazelnuts. The palate is ample, showcasing smoky and roasted nuances alongside yellow fruits, culminating in a pleasant mineral finish. Expect a refined aromatic bouquet with candied citrus, dried fruit, roasted hazelnut, and white flowers, leading to a tender, energetic, and rich palate with long-lasting flavors. 【Meursault Perrières is often regarded as one of the unofficial 'Grand Crus' of Meursault, known for intensity and richness.】
