Name: Meursault “Les Corbins”
Colour: White
Country: France
Region: Burgundy, Cote de Beaune
Year: 2004
Producer: Michel Picard
Grape Varieties: Chardonnay
Alcohol: 13%
Purchase Price: EUR 29.00 (wine merchants, France)
Notes:
Maker's tasting notes – Colour: Pale yellow with gold tints.
Nose: Strong toasted notes at the beginning then aromas of yellow fruits and almond.
Palate: Powerful and fat mouthfeel with harmonious boisé and fruity flavours.
Somnambulist's verdict: I’m not sure about “yellow fruits” and “mouthfeel” but this is a quite splendid white Burgundy. It seems only this region can get such a dry steeliness and complexity from the Chardonnay grape, and this is a wonderful example. I loved it.
