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 : 2023

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
