WINE DESCRIPTION

Ballot Millot Meursault 1er Cru 'Perrières' is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Ballot Millot winery in Meursault of Burgundy, France. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Perrières vineyard, which is known for its limestone-rich soil and ideal south-east facing slope. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels for 12-18 months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Meursault terroir, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and minerality. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This white Burgundy is a classic Meursault 1er Cru 'Perrières' from the renowned Ballot Millot winery.The nose is subtle and complex, with aromas of white stone fruits, meadow flowers, and a hint of hazelnut. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with a creamy texture, bright acidity, and lingering minerality. Notes of ripe yellow apples, white peach, and lemon zest mingle with nuances of wild herbs, toasted almonds, and a hint of wet stone. This is an elegant and balanced wine, with long-lasting flavors and a delightful finish.
