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.
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.
James Suckling 95: This great chardonnay marries exceptional freshness and minerality with the generosity associated with this famous site. Medium-bodied with excellent mineral energy that lifts and animates. The long, citrusy finish is very precise. Still quite young. From organically grown grapes. Fermented and matured in barrique casks, one-third new. Drink or hold.
