Francois Gaunoux 2019 Meursault "Clos des Meix Chevaux" 750ml

Gaunoux Clos des Meix Chavaux 2016 is a deep straw-gold Chardonnay from the monopole vineyard of Clos des Meix Chavaux in Meursault. The wine displays perfumed aromas of yellow apple, pear, nectarine, flowers, cream, and wet stones, and has opulent creaminess and incredible precision in the mouth. The balance between ripeness, mineral nerve, and freshness is a master class on the Chardonnay variety, and the wine is drinkable now while also having potential to age for the next 10-15 years. This wine is best served decanted for 30 minutes at 50-55 degrees, and pairs well with saucy, French-inspired chicken preparations.
