Tasting notes
Maison Lou Dumont's Meursault from 2003 is a beautiful expression of Burgundy's charm, crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes. It's the work of Koji Nakata, the first Japanese winemaker to set up a winery in this iconic region. His passion is truly infused in this bottle.
In "The Drops of God," volume 9, this wine is described as harmonizing "heaven, earth, and humanity" perfectly. There's a scene where Shizuku offers it to Jean's father, likening it to Vincent van Gogh's "Almond Blossoms"—a truly delicate and beautiful comparison.
Pour yourself a glass and check it out. Its golden hue hints at those 23 years of aging. On the nose, you're greeted by scents of almond and white flowers, with a subtle hint of toasted butter. It's not just refreshing but has a deep and complex aroma.
Take a sip, and you'll notice a full-bodied, creamy texture unfolding. The fruitiness and acidity are in perfect harmony, with a strong mineral finish that lingers elegantly. It's best enjoyed slightly warmer than fridge temperature to really bring out its full character.
