meursault 2010 vv – buisson-charles
An exceedingly good match with the domestic goddess’s fish pie… 2010 Buisson-Charles, Meursault Vieilles Vignes Medium yellow. The nose has a lovely depth of sweet peaches and fruit-loaf that pull your nose in deeper. If anything the nose makes… Read More

Profile: Domaine Buisson-Charles (Meursault)
