Meursault is the capital of fine white wines in Bourgogne. This plot, on the border of Puligny-Montrachet, was once covered with hornbeam trees 'charmes'. This is an exceptional terroir where Chardonnay expresses itself marvelously, giving some of the finest white wines in Côte de Beaune.

Tasting notes

The nose is complex, showing delicate floral aromas mixed with a few woody notes. It has long-lasting tastes on the palate and distinguishes itself with a very good balance between richness and acidity.

2019 (Vintage 2017)

Encore assez fermé avec un caractère d'agrumes rafraîchissant, ainsi que des notes herbacées et d'angélique. Le corps de ce très élégant Meursault est léger avec des belles poires mûres. Finale longue et gracieuse. Mieux à partir de 2020.
