Origin

Meursault is an appellation from the Côte de Beaune, named after the village of Meursault located in the south of Beaune. It covers a surface area of 396 hectares, of which 108 are Premier Cru rated. Meursault is best known for its white wines which represent 96% of the production.

It also forms the north tip of the Golden Triangle, where the finest white wines of Burgundy come from, along with the villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes were hand-picked and sorted manually as soon as they arrived at the winery. They were then pressed in a pneumatic press which allows for perfect extraction of the juices without over pressing the grapes. Vinification and ageing took place in wooden barrels with a proportion of 40% new oak. The wine is aged on the lees for 9 months without batonnage, then aged in vat for 2 months.

Vintage : 2022

2022 weather conditions were uncertain, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.

The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
