Jean-Michel Meursault 1er Cru "Les Gouttes d'Or" 2015
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. This wine has aromas of white flowers, nuts, lemon and peach, medium acidity, full body, fruity aroma, super concentration and a long aftertaste. (m.putaojiu.com)
