Louis Jadot Meursault (Magnum) 2017
Louis Jadot Meursault is a classic white Burgundy from the heart of the Côte de Beaune, crafted from Chardonnay grapes grown on the chalky soils that define this celebrated appellation. With its rich texture, elegant minerality and refined complexity, this is Meursault at its finest—a wine that beautifully expresses the terroir and winemaking expertise of one of Burgundy's most respected houses. Why You'll Love It This is Meursault from one of Burgundy's legendary producers—rich, elegant, and beautifully balanced. Maison Louis Jadot has been crafting exceptional Burgundy wines since 1859, and their Meursault showcases the house's commitment to quality and terroir expression. The result is a wine that combines classic Burgundian finesse with the distinctive character of Meursault's chalky soils, offering exceptional depth and ageing potential. Vineyard & Production Sourced from village vineyards spread over gentle slopes between 230 and 360 metres above sea level in Meursault, the centre of the Côte des Blancs. The eastern orientation provides ideal sunlight, while chalky soils with white marl are perfectly suited to Chardonnay. Grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed, then fermented in oak barrels produced by the CADUS cooperage, with one-third new oak. Ageing lasts 15 months on fine lees before bottling, building texture and complexity. Tasting Notes This elegant Meursault opens with aromas of ripe orchard fruit, citrus and subtle oak, layered with notes of hazelnut, butter and white flowers. The palate is rich and textured, showing stone fruit and citrus with mineral undertones and a touch of vanilla. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity and lasting complexity. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine, perfect with seafood, sushi, salmon tartar, escargots, chicken yakitori, vegetable tart, goat cheese, fish & chips, or creamy pasta. Also excellent with refined dining and special occasions. The Blend Chardonnay from Meursaul
Schloss Johannisberg Goldlack Riesling Trocken 2018
' The notable Schloss Johannisberg winery, which overlooks Germany's picturesque Rhine River, is synonymous with Riesling and makes some of the finest, most long-lived expressions of this noble grape variety. It is considered one of the most famed and historic estates in Germany, having first been founded as a wine-producing Benedictine Monastery in 1100. The winery changed hands many times over the following six centuries but took its first step towards quality viticulture in 1720, when it was entirely replanted with Riesling vines. The grapes used to produce this outstanding wine come entirely from Schloss Johannisberg's late-ripening southwest facing vineyards. Grape must undegoes a long, slow fermentation process before being aged on lees for 24 months in the estate's cool cellars in barrels. '
