Grape variety
Chardonnay
Located at the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, Meursault is one of the region’s best known and most famous villages as it is considered to be the capital of Burgundy’s great white wines. Images of the town hall’s multi-coloured tiled roof are famous all over the world. This "Clos du Cromin" is located to the northeast of the village, neighbouring "Les Santenots". The stone walls of the vineyard and the Burgundian origin of the name "Cro" attest to the presence of quarries that existed here a long time ago.
Tasting
The nose is very airy at first, fresh and slightly smoky. This is followed by elegant white floral scents with balsamic notes. The palate is pleasantly refreshing with minerality shrouded in well-balanced sweetness. The finish is long, refreshing and full of flavour.
Food/wine pairing
Ideal with fine fish and seafood, this wine is also a good match for white meats, poultry in sauce and full-flavoured cheeses.
