Karine Lauverjat Menetou-Salon 2021

Karine Lauverjat?s 2020 Menetou-Salon is a lovely wine in the making. It is a tad on the young side, having just landed here in the New York, but it has lovely bones. The bouquet jumps from the glass in a fine combination of lemon, gooseberry, spring flowers, chalky soil tones, citrus zest and a nice topnote of fresh-culled grass.

On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and tightly-knit today, with a lovely core and soil undertow, bouncy acids and lovely length and grip on the very well-balanced finish. This is tasty already, but will be even better with six months out from its trans-Atlantic voyage. Good juice. 2021-2027.
