Benjamin Leroux Meursault

The glass is a rich, burnished gold. The nose is highlighted by by the freshness of preserved lemon, the mild sweetness of wet wood, and the dash of orange peel. On the palate, the accents of stone fruit and tannins emerge, accompanied by wisps of vanilla. The conclusion is dry and long, with a lingering orange note. A notable feature of the wine is its age, as evidenced by the character of a cork seal on the previous bottle. The food pairing is a trio of roasted trout, asparagus, and baby potatoes, which will undoubtedly be elevated by the wine's understated nuances.

Inviting Mersault with engaging characters, fruity notes, and a more elegant discovery on the texture than on the nose. fitting for poultry, which I enjoyed.

Well-balanced and affordable wine that offers excellent merit for its price. The Meurault has a light golden color and a satisfying fragrance on the nose, with whispers of melon and chalk. The profile is smooth, with a dash of butter and oak, and a medium finish.
