WINE DESCRIPTION
Pierre Girardin Meursault 'Les Grands Charrons' is a premium white wine produced by Pierre Girardin, a renowned winemaker from the Meursault appellation in Burgundy, France. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Les Grands Charrons vineyard, which is known for its limestone-rich soil and ideal sun exposure. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a classic Meursault with a rich and creamy texture, balanced acidity, and flavors of ripe citrus, stone fruit, and toasted nuts. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Pierre Girardin Meursault 'Les Grands Charrons' is a classic white Burgundy, with a nose of ripe melon, honeysuckle and white flowers.On the palate, there is a creamy texture, and a bright, elegant acidity that frames the ripe orchard fruit flavors and a hint of oak. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of almond and a subtle minerality. A beautiful, impressive expression of Meursault.
