Meursault is an appellation from the Côte de Beaune. The vineyards are located to the south of Beaune and cover a surface area of 395,84 hectares. Meursault is best known for its white wines which represent 95% of production.

The subsoil is predominantly clay-limestone. This wine comes from vines around forty years old, planted on slopes with southern to south-eastern exposure.

100% Chardonnay

COLOUR: golden yellow.
NOSE: fruity, floral, with vanilla and toasted aromas. Woody flavours. Great freshness.
PALATE: good balance, and a great ampleness.

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 50% new oak. The wine is aged on the lees for 9 months without batonnage, then aged in vat for 2 months. The wine was fined and very gentle filtered before being bottled.

This wine will be a perfect companion to lobster, crayfish, poultry or veal in cream sauce, foie gras and blue cheeses.

2015 was an excellent vintage in Burgundy. Ideal weather-conditions, perfectly healthy, fully-ripe grapes ; all the necessary conditions were present to make an exceptional vintage. After a fairly mild winter, springtime came rapidly with relatively high temperatures and fine sunshine. Thanks to these mild conditions, flowering occurred in early June followed by the veraison in mid-July leading to certain grapes in Southern Burgundy being harvested as early as late August. The only difficulty was drought which led to a fall in yields, especially for Pinot Noir. White Burgundies show a fine intensity with full aromatic qualities. Generous wines which represent the sunny conditions.
Red Burgundies are rich and dense, showing aromas of ripe fruit and spices. Pleasing, well-rounded wines which show off all the qualities of this fine vintage.
