Comtesse de Cherisey – Meursault Blagny 1er Cru La Genelotte

Round and fruity in the nose with citrus notes mixed with spring flowers, the palate is full yet with great freshness; on the finish there are notes of pears, grilled hazelnuts and butter. This is a white wine that can age well for at least five years after the vintage. The wine is a powerful, classic, long-lived Meursault.

Serving Suggestions:
Its aromatic power and exceptional balance between fat and acidity make it an aristocrat among burgundies. Unsurprisingly, it has a natural affinity with noble and fine-textured fish or meat, which it can match without overpowering. It performs a similar feat with joints of veal or poultry in white sauce, which are rendered sublime by the wine's unctuous texture and long, distinguished acidity. Still better are grilled lobster, crawfish, or king prawns in sauce - dishes whose aromatic intensity and crisp texture match the lively and supple balance of the wine. Even blue cheeses and goose liver take to it immediately.

Serving temperature: 12 to 14 °C
