Pernand-Vergelesses, Maison Pierre Meurgey 2023
"Fresh and floral with sweet apple notes, this tank-fermented wine is focused and clean, offering a bright and enjoyable drinking experience." Our note Pierre Meurgey is a rising star in Burgundy, blending tradition with modern techniques to craft precise and terroir-driven wines. His focus is on showcasing the nuanced characteristics of each appellation, from the Mâconnais to the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 vintage was particularly noteworthy, beginning with uncertainty due to a sudden heatwave in early September. Thanks to early harvesting, Pierre achieved balanced ripeness and avoided overripeness, producing wines with finesse, vibrant fruit, and excellent ageing potential. Both reds and whites are approachable young yet structured.
Pessac-Léognan, Château Carbonnieux Blanc 2015
Legend has it that back in the 18th century, Château Carbonnieux’s white wine was so crystal-clear that it made its way to the Sultan of Constantinople’s palace under the guise of "mineral water from Carbonnieux". A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, the Sauvignon brings energy and brightness, while the Sémillon adds roundness and depth. When young, it’s fresh, crisp, and bursting with floral and citrus notes. As it ages, it takes on richer layers of dried and candied fruit, making it an incredibly versatile food wine. This elegant white is a perfect match for cooked or raw seafood, foie gras, white meats, or even spiced dishes.
