About This Wine
Maison Leroy chose and aged this village Meursault from 2000. Like most Maison Leroy whites, it was released with long, undisturbed cellar age behind it.
Meursault is the largest white-wine village of the Côte de Beaune, and its village wines are rounder and more buttery than those of Puligny or Chassagne.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Hazelnut, brioche, ripe lemon and a touch of beeswax.
- Palate: Round and mouth-filling, with dried orchard fruit and a savoury, developed middle.
- Finish: Nutty and persistent, still with enough acidity to keep it lively.
Serving & Food
Stand the bottle upright for a day, then serve around 12°C in a generous glass; there is no need to decant. It sits well with pan-fried sole meunière, Hainanese chicken rice, or a creamy mushroom risotto.
Good to Know
Is it ready? Yes. Best opened soon.
What's the style? Nutty and honeyed with age.
