Description

Style


A classic and balanced Meursault, combining richness with freshness and finesse. Elegant and harmonious, with a refined and versatile profile.

Vineyard


Located in Meursault, in the Côte de Beaune. Vineyards are planted on limestone and clay soils, contributing to both richness and mineral balance typical of Meursault.

Winery


Hand-harvested grapes, whole-bunch pressed and fermented with native yeasts. Aged in French oak barrels (partially new) with lees contact, enhancing texture and complexity while maintaining balance.

Nose/Palate

Citrus, ripe orchard fruit, hazelnut, butter, and subtle toasted notes on the nose, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with a creamy texture balanced by fresh acidity, citrus and apple flavors, light oak influence, and a long, elegant, well-rounded finish.

Meursault

Meursault is one of the most celebrated villages of the Côte de Beaune, renowned for Chardonnay with a naturally generous, textured and expressive character. Unlike the more overtly mineral and linear style often associated with Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault is distinguished by its richness, breadth and remarkable aromatic complexity.

The vineyards are planted on limestone and marl soils, with variations in clay and soil depth contributing to the diversity of the village. These terroirs give the wines both richness and the mineral freshness needed to maintain balance.

Meursault Chardonnay typically shows ripe apple, pear, lemon and white peach, accompanied by almond, hazelnut and subtle buttery or creamy notes. With bottle age, the wines develop greater depth, revealing toasted nuts, brioche and delicate spice.

The village has a long history of viticulture and is particularly famous for its Premier Cru vineyards, including Les Perrières, Genevrières and Les Charmes. Although Meursault has no Grand Cru vineyards, its finest Premier Crus can rival the complexity and ageing potential of wines from more highly ranked sites.

At its best, Meursault combines generosity with precision — rich and silky without heaviness, supported by fresh acidity, fine minerality and a long, elegant finish.

2024 Vintage

2024 was a cool, challenging and highly terroir-transparent vintage in Meursault. A very wet spring and summer created significant disease pressure and reduced yields, but a warmer, drier September allowed the grapes to finish ripening with excellent freshness and balance.

The wines show a distinctly fresh and mineral profile, with lemon, green and yellow apple, white flowers and subtle almond notes. Vibrant acidity gives the vintage energy and precision, while Meursault’s natural richness provides texture and depth.

Compared with the warmer 2022 and 2023 vintages, 2024 is less opulent and more linear, favouring freshness, salinity and clarity of terroir. The best wines are elegant and focused, with the structure to develop beautifully in bottle.

2024 Meursault is a vintage of freshness, precision and balance — less about power, more about purity, minerality and long-term elegance.
