MEURSAULT > MORIN Père et Fils

Tasting notes

Color: Golden yellow color.

Nose: Powerful, rich nose with hints of ripe grapes, honey and a fine woodiness. Attractive aromatic density with autumnal nuances.

Palate: On the palate, it is a ripe and full-bodied wine. The initially fruity and woody aromas give way to toasted almond notes. A salivating acidity accompanies the flavors and gives fullness and liveliness to this wine.

Food and wine pairing

Can be served and enjoyed simply as an aperitif with foie gras toasts. Unsurprisingly, it has a natural affinity with noble and fine-textured fish or meat, which it can match without overpowering. It will also go wonderfully with all shellfish, grilled lobster, crawfish, or king prawns in sauce.

Serving suggestions

Best served at a temperature from 12 to 14 °C.
