Domaine Boyer-Gontard
2011 Meursault Premier Cru Perrieres
A wine that needs a few years in bottle — it develops an intense fragrance and sweetness with age. The wine is grown in a vineyard just beside Leflaive’s Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru Les Chalemaux. Gérard Boyer describes his Perrieres as a sensual wine and one of his best.
Floral, perfumey notes on the nose with pear and stone fruit peeking through. Tart fruit on the palate. Lime peel lingers on the finish. A wine foodies will enjoy. It’s easy to imagine it pairing deliciously with goat cheese and endive.
Food pairing: Goat cheese
