Wine characteristics

Grape

Chardonnay, the grape that predominates in Meursault and is responsible for some of the world's most prestigious white wines.

Taste profile

The 2017 Meursault Cuvée Loppin has a classic Meursault style. These wines are known for their rich and full body, often with notes of ripe yellow fruits, toasted nuts, butter, and a characteristic minerality. The 2017 vintage is known for its freshness and elegance, with a good balance between fruit ripeness and acidity.

Aging potential

The wine has good aging potential, like most Meursault wines. Although it can be drunk now, it will become more complex and develop deeper flavours with a few years of ageing.

Magnum size

The 150cl bottle (magnum) is not only imposing, but also offers some advantages in terms of ageing. Wines in larger bottles mature more slowly and evenly, adding to their complexity and longevity.
