This wine has a lot going on, from lemon curd, smoked citrus peel, fleshy mandarin, gentle toastiness from the oak, vanilla pods, and hawthorn flowers. The texture goes hand in hand with the juiciness of that slurpable pulpy citrus and white nectarine. Finesse and balance are the keys to this wine. This is not the usual Meursault that slaps you on the face with its power; rather, it is more ethereal.
