APPELLATION : The Meursault appellation, situated 8 km from
Beaune, has soil that is mainly composed of hard Comblanchien
limestone and sinks into the depths at the height of
Nuits-Saint-Georges and reappears here rather than heading in a
southerly direction. We are leaving the reds behind in favour of the
white wine hillside. The vineyard consists of 96% white and 4% red
wines. The best terrains are situated roughly at an altitude of 260
metres with a slanting exposure from east to south. There are
occasional nuances of magnesian limestone. The vineyard is
outstanding due to its limestone marl. The wines are divided between
the ancient Callovian limestone and Argovian marl rocks.
GRAPE VARIETY : 100% Chardonnay
SURFACE : 0.40 hectares
SOIL : Calcareous clay
VINIFICATION : 100% manually harvested, upon arrival at the
winery the grapes are directly pressed without crushing. After a light
settling, the musts are directly placed into barrels. Matured for 15
months of which 12 in barrels (10-15% new barrels).
TASTING : A golden colour. The nose presents citrus fruit and white
flower aromas that evolve into notes of grilled almonds. It is supple, very well
balanced and distinguishes itself by its fine length in the mouth.
