Aromas of lemon zest, orange oils and acacia delight with precision. Pure and delicate notes of lemon, orange oil, geranium, white mushroom, brioche and crushed stone gently lingers on the palate along its long vanilla finish.

Technical Details
Description
Situated just south of Volnay and Pommard in the Cote de Beaune Meursault is the most extensive southerly white wine commune of the Cote-d'Or. Surprisingly enough for an appellation of this quality, no Grand Cru exists, however the high quality of the 1er Cru more than compensates for this. An exclusive of Maison Louis Latour (monopole), the vineyards constituting the estate of the Chateau de Blagny are located high on the hillside overlooking Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Chateau de Blagny is the most important domaine in the commune.
