...ripe, pure and airy aromas of white flower and citrus where the latter also suffuses the textured, concentrated and refined medium-bodied flavors that possess really lovely precision and a subtle finishing mineral character. I very much like the style as it's understand and graceful as well as balanced and attractively dry. Excellent quality.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Meursault, Les Gouttes D'Or

Les Gouttes d’Or is a 13.2 acre Premier Cru vineyard in Meursault, in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. Its name translates to “drops of gold,” and many wine collectors believe the vineyard produces wines that live up to that name. Located high on a slope, it is about the same elevation as the best parcels of Les Perrieres and Les Charmes. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “Les Gouttes d’Or “is classic Meursault, with a flamboyant, nutty, obviously rich, plump bouquet, and a super abundance of fruit.”

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay, 1er (Premier) Cru

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
