FEATURES
🏰The 2002 Michel Bouzereau Meursault Perrieres 1er Cru hails from a 【superb vintage for white Burgundy, known for its balance, freshness, and excellent aging potential】. As a mature Meursault Perrieres, expect a complex bouquet where primary fruit has evolved into delightful tertiary notes. You'll likely find aromas of honey, toasted nuts, and a hint of mushroom, layered over underlying citrus and mineral characteristics. The palate should be rich and full-bodied, yet retain a vibrant acidity that keeps it fresh and lively, leading to a long, satisfying finish.
🍴 This exquisite white 布根地 is perfect with rich seafood like pan-seared scallops or lobster thermidor, roasted chicken with aromatic herbs, creamy mushroom pasta dishes, or mature, nutty cheeses such as Comté or Gruyère.
🥂 A superb choice for a celebratory meal, a significant anniversary, or for connoisseurs who appreciate the depth and complexity of mature white Burgundy. This wine is likely ready to drink now, but a short decanting period might help it to fully open up and express its intricate aromatics. Serve chilled, but not too cold, ideally around 12-14°C (54-57°F).
