On the palate, it has a round attack, creamy yet elegant, with finesse from the minerals and beautiful acidity. Good integration of oak, characteristic buttery notes, minerality, complexity, and absolutely gastronomic. In summary, fantastic quality for a 'regular' Meursault: roundness but also exciting acidity!
