Description
Of a beautiful golden yellow colour, this Meursault 1er Cru “Château de Blagny” 2011 offers an intense nose: vanilla notes mixe very-well with almond aromas; hints of brioche are subtly revealed. The wine brings candy and round structure on the mouth. Aromas of vanilla and nut balance perfectly. Situated just south of Volnay and Pommard in the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is the most extensive southerly white wine commune of the Côte-d’Or. Surprisingly enough for an appellation of this quality, no Grand Cru exists, however the high quality of the 1er Cru more then compensates for this. An exclusive of Maison Louis Latour (monopole), the vineyards constituting the estate of the Château de Blagny are located high on the hillside overlooking Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Château de Blagny is the most important domaine in the commune.
