Sous le Dos d’Âne is a Meursault Premier Cru vineyard is located on a slope above Perrières. The esoteric name translates to “Under the Donkey’s Back” — the vines are sheltered to the north by a huge, long hummock of stones and trees which resemble the slumbering animal.

Excellent exposure to morning sunlight ensures ripening in the cool Burgundy climate. Sous le Dos d’Âne is situated on a part of the slope where the soil is thin and marly, with hard limestone bedrock beneath — perfect for Chardonnay.

It is golden-green in colour, with apricot and ripe peach aromas. Palate is lively, with intense bright fruitiness; very exuberant, creamy and long (for drinking 2024-2030+).
