Date: Friday, August 6, 2021"The lovely balance of ripe pineapple, creaminess and discreet oak makes this Meursault very easy to enjoy. The mineral freshness from high-altitude vineyards nicely complementing the bass notes from lower-lying sites with deep soil. Nice touch of grapefruit at the bold finish. Drink or hold."
