WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux Meursault Gouttes d'Or Premier Cru is a high-quality Burgundy wine crafted with exceptional care. Produced from older vines in the prestigious Gouttes d'Or vineyard, this wine is aged for over a year in oak barrels, with a portion of new oak contributing to its complexity. The winemaking process is traditional, with no filtration or fining, allowing the wine to retain its full character and expression. This results in a classic representation of Meursault, showcasing the depth, structure, and elegance typical of Premier Cru wines from this renowned region.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, you can expect a complex bouquet of aromas, including ripe citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, along with hints of toasted almonds and hazelnuts.There may also be subtle floral notes, such as acacia or honeysuckle.
On the palate, this wine offers a harmonious balance between its vibrant acidity and its creamy texture. The flavors are intense and persistent, with a focus on citrus fruits, particularly lemon and lime. There may also be nuances of ripe pear and white peach, adding to the wine's complexity. The oak aging is well-integrated, providing subtle notes of vanilla and a delicate touch of spice. This wine will also develop more complexity over time.
