Meursault, L’Ormeau, Yves Boyer-Martenot, Burgundy, France ‘05

Grapes: Chardonnay
By the Dozen: £265 (£22.08 each) or Individually : £24.50

Boyer-Martenot is a star. One of my top three White Burgundy producers, his are the most approachable and affordable. His Meursault’s are true to the traditional unctuous, buttery style for which the village is renowned but add a signature seam of crisp, fresh yet somehow juicy acidity that enhance rather than counters the wines’ natural generous opulence. L’Ormeau is a lieu-dit, a special vineyard that always delivers a slightly more complex wine than his straight Meursault, usually with a nutty edge.
Great stuff.
