Vincent Girardin - Meursault 1er Cru - Les Charmes-Dessus

I was in Gunther's restaurant on 23rd Dec for a dinner with my wife. I booked this restaurant one month back to secure the place... Very "hot" place. As expected the restaurant was packed to the door.

We chose Snow Crab as our main course and decided to pick a white wine to go with the dinner. Nicholas was the sommelier and recommended me to drink one of the more "reasonable priced" burgundy - Vincent Girardin Mersault.

This 2005 smell of flowers and has great minerals, hints of citrus taste. Nicholas decanted the wine to bring out the flavors. The wine did taste stronger, smoother. Went well with the crab but a tad too expensive in my view.
