Meursault 1er Cru 'Les Gouttes d'Or' 2018

Limited to 5.33ha, "Goutte d'Or" is the smallest of the 1er Cru sites that is cultivated by Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux. Translated as "drops of gold", "Goutte d'Or" sits at a high elevation, that's on par with "Perrieres" and "Genevrieres", but here, the soil is clay heavy with a limestone base, where the vines take root on slopes that face east. A rich and fat wine, with a delicious and joyful hazelnut flavor. Almond and hazelnut roasted in a vegetal, floral and mineral environment. Butter, honey, citrus fruits also appeal to the nose.
