Philippe Pacalet, Meursault Blanc

Philippe Pacalet, Meursault Blanc(from 5 different vineyards). Notes of matchstick and hazelnut add breadth to the mostly white orchard fruit and acacia blossom scented nose. The medium bodied flavors possess more evident minerality on the bone dry and youthfully austere finish that is presently a bit tough and attenuated. I suspect that this will flesh out and unwind with a few years of bottle age.

fruit-driven finish

white peach and dried apricot-infused aromas

but it includes grapes from other AVAs as well

ripe dark cherries

green apple and white peach suffused nose

400 cases and a few magnums were made

crushed rose petals and hints of graphite

000 bottles were filled in July 2018

clear honey and vanilla pod

but this is a super-impressive wine in every way

The tannins are firm yet beautifully integrated

all of them neutral
