Philippe Bouzereau Chateau de Citeaux Meursault Vieux Clos Monopole 2023

This is classic Meursault with a noble bearing. Pale gold in the glass, the wine opens with lifted aromas of baked apple, ripe pear, lemon curd, and toasted hazelnut, alongside subtle notes of vanilla, warm brioche, and crushed seashells. On the palate, it is rich and rounded yet finely tuned, with creamy texture, integrated oak, and vibrant acidity lending poise to its generous fruit. The finish is long and mouthcoating, echoing with minerality, citrus oil, and roasted almond. A harmonious and expressive Chardonnay from an exceptional walled vineyard.

This luxurious white Burgundy calls for equally elegant yet comforting cuisine. Think lobster thermidor, or truffle roast chicken with creamy morel sauce.
