The 2018 Pierre Girardin Meursault Les Genevrieres 1er Cru comes from a vintage in Burgundy that was largely very good for both whites and reds, notable for being one of the hottest and driest growing seasons since 2003. Pierre Girardin, son of Vincent Girardin, is a "new star" and "bright new talent" who launched his own estate in 2017, quickly gaining recognition for his high-quality wines. This Meursault is described as a very powerful and mineral wine, showcasing excellent precision and terroir expression. Tasting notes reveal great acidity for the 2018 vintage, with hints of ginger, reduction, lemon, peach, apricot, green apple, and a good concentration of fruit with a touch of grapefruit. It marries weight and elegance, being youthful yet accessible, with great line and length. Expect generous buttery toast, concentrated white orchard fruits, smart reduction, exotic spices, and a pure, creamy expression of Meursault. 【From a "new star" winemaker, showcasing excellent precision and terroir expression in a generous yet balanced style.】 🍴 Food Pairing: This versatile white Burgundy is an ideal partner for a range of dishes, including chicken and turkey.
