Description
In a nutshell:
A fine, classic Meursault from a traditional Côte d'Or producer, offering a perfect balance of richness and minerality.
The lowdown:
This fine white Burgundy boasts a mineral nose with subtle incense and spice and the layered, elegant palate offers citrus flesh and plush acidity, with gently toasty oak and a long finish. Only 20-year-old vines or older contribute to this wine, which is fermented using only native yeasts in open wooden casks. After an extended period on lees, it spends at least six months in oak, allowing it to develop its classic Côte-de-Beaune character. Meursault, alongside its neighbour Puligny-Montrachet, is home to some of the world's greatest white wines, and this example epitomises that tradition..
The Producer:
Vallet Frères, founded in 1864 by Pierre Bourée, is now in the capable hands of the fourth generation of the family. They have their own vineyards in the Gevrey-Chambertin, including a prized parcel in the Grand Cru of Charmes-Chambertin. Beyond their estate holdings, they're also a respected négociant, crafting excellent wines from top appellations in the Côte dOr. Their approach is a blend of tradition and finesse, producing wines that are elegant and expressive of their terroir. Its this dedication to quality that makes Vallet Frères a quiet yet significant player in Burgundys wine scene.
When to drink:
Pairs well with game dishes or shellfish, particularly lobster thermidor.
Suitable for Vegans
