Joseph Drouhin Meursault 1er Cru 'Les Charmes' 2018

Grape Varieties: 100% Chardonnay

Wine Region: Cote de Beaune, Burgundy, France

Tasting Notes: The nose, concentrated and elegant, full without being heavy, evokes aromas of almond, warm bread just taken out of the oven, hot croissant, then, fine spice and finally grilled dried fruit. The flavors are at the same refined level as the aromas. The body is round; the acidity is well integrated and is never biting. The texture feels like silk without the alcohol ever being dominant. The wine develops on the palate and opens up fully until the very long aftertaste brings back some of the precious aromas felt in the bouquet: almond paste and hot brioche.

Food Pairing: Prawns with garlic butter.
