Bader-Mimeur Meursault Le Limozin 2023
Bader‑Mimeur Meursault “Le Limozin” 2023 is a village‑level Chardonnay from a well‑situated parcel between the renowned Meursault lieux‑dits Genevrières and Charmes in the Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France.
Tasting Profile
The wine shows a bright, clear light‑gold color. The nose is delicate and pure, with white flowers, gentle sweet spices and almond notes over ripe, fleshy white fruit. On the palate it opens with a creamy, rounded attack that carries the same complex aromas in a fresh, precise and coherent style, finishing with a discreet youthful bitterness that adds lift.
