Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Pierre Rovani
The 1999 Meursault Goutte d'Or bursts from the glass with intense white peach, poached pear, and apricot aromas. Medium-bodied and possessing outstanding depth and concentration, this is a fat, plump, pear and peach-flavored wine. Its sexy personality lasts throughout its harmonious, long, and plush finish.
