Meuret is from Washington’s highly regarded Maison Bleue, the Meuret label are single vineyard wines, meant to show off terroir. In this case this outstanding Chardonnay is from Clos Pierre vineyard in White Salmon, a site that lies within the cooler more west end of the AVA. It’s elegant, with fruit expression that is lilting yet creamy—crème brûlée, pear tartin, lemon curd and acacia honey are couched in fine tannins, perfectly balanced acidity, and salty minerality.
