- A Meursault shows elegant finesse, with floral nuances, expressive fruit, and buttery notes leading to a palate of lovely weight and balance and a characteristic streak of minerality.
The grapes were carefully sorted to vinify only the top-quality fruit from this artisanal producer. Fermentation took place with natural yeast to retain the authentic character of the vineyard. Maturation occurred over 12 months in 228-litre French oak barrels, of which 15% were new, imparting weight, texture and lees complexity.

Winery | The one-hectare vineyard is based in Meursault at an elevation of 320 metres, where the vines are planted in clay-limestone soils. The clay element has good water retention properties and helps to nourish the vines throughout any dry spells during the ripening period, while the limestone imparts the characteristic elegance of Cote d’Or Chardonnay. The vines are trained according to the Guyot method, which limits the vine’s lignified growth to the trunk so the vine is less susceptible to frost. The climate is typically continental, with cold winters and hot, dry summers, and the area can be vulnerable to spring frost. The vines are meticulously cultivated following a sustainable approach, traditional ploughing takes place in lieu of chemical preparations, and the grapes are hand-harvested at optimum maturity. |
