Albert Bichot - Meursault - Blanc - 2020

Wine:

A Côte de Beaune flagship that has become increasingly rare in recent vintages, the 2020 white Meursault opens on a background of toasty notes with a hint of vanilla, developing a lovely fruity-floral character with nuances of white peach and hawthorn. Full-bodied and well-balanced, animated by a beautiful minerality and supported by a fine aging process carried out entirely in barrels, this wine persists for a long time in full delicacy. Ideal with cooked fish or poultry.
