More about the WineryReviews of Joseph Drouhin Meursault 2017
Typical opacity of a Joseph Drouhin. Notes of white fruits such as apples. A nice woody flavour.
I had it with a good cheese.
A Chardonnay with a very dull colour. As soon as I smelled it, I noticed the white flowers scent. Taste of blackberries and wild fruits.
A 2014 is perfect with boiled shrimp.
A very good wine.
A refined wine, which is well appreciated in the whole world. A beautiful golden colour, with a fresh and aromatic palate, delivering peach, honey, lemon cake, floral, hazelnut and spiced notes and nuances of chamomile. The palate gives a harmonious, silky roundness. The finish is exceptionally long with flavours of yellow plum and gingerbread. Ready to enjoy now, but well develop well. Drink now through to 2025.
