Albert Grivault Clos Du Murger Bourgogne Blanc 2015

Description

Domaine de Meursault was acquired by Albert Grivault in 1879 following the death of the Marquis de la Roche. Today, Michel Bardet, Albert Grivault's grandson, runs the six-hectare domaine. The gem of the vineyard is the Clos des Perrières, a hectare of land which is run as a monopole and considered the best climat of the appellation. The domaine produces mainly Chardonnay and a little Pinot Noir. The wines are vinified using very sophisticated methods and are of a remarkable quality, placing them at the top of the wines of the appellation, even competing with certain grand crus.

Grape Variety Chardonnay

Rating and reviews

Produced from young vines, this cuvée is raised for 18 months in casks which have been used for one to five wines. It is characterised by aromas of white flowers, white-fleshed fruits (peach) and lemon. Full-bodied and direct, it has a very pleasant acidity on the palate.
