Tasting notes
Meursault is a limpid and brilliant lightly accented gold-green, canary yellow or polished bronze-gold depending on its age. The nose evokes the scent of ripe bunches of grapes. When young, toasted almonds and hazelnuts compete with hawthorn, elderberries, bracken, lime blossom and verbena. The nose also features butter, honey, citrus fruits and flint. On the palate, a rich and opulent wine, with delicious and delightful hazelnut notes, achieving a superbly silky balance between unctuousness and freshness. With a long and structured finish, a Meursault wine needs time to mature. It’s an excellent white for laying down. Its aromatic power and exceptional balance between richness and acidity make this one of the great wines of Burgundy

Key characteristics
About this wine
Meursault is Burgundy's benchmark for richly textured white wine, and Laurent Ponsot's Cuvee du Pandorea is built entirely from Chardonnay grown on the appellation's characteristic limestone and clay. It carries the village's reputation for depth and generosity without straying into heaviness, a wine that speaks clearly of its Côte de Beaune origins.
Expect the classic Meursault register: ripe orchard fruit, a touch of hazelnut, and a broad, savoury finish. Serve at 10-12°C alongside lobster, roast chicken or a proper cheese board, this is a white with enough weight to hold its own at the main course.
