Meursault is a large appellation spread over the hillside of the Côte de Beaune. The soil varies by location, rich and deep at the bottom of the hillside, then rich in limestone on the slope. (It’s a especially important region for the winery, as it is home to chief winemaker Franck Grux.) This particular cuvée is composed from fruit from about 15 complementary plots, yielding a characteristically rich, round, elegant wine.
Sustainably-grown Chardonnay is harvested by hand in small lots. Upon arrival at the winery, fruit is immediately pressed in a gentle pneumatic press. The wine goes through primary and secondary fermentation in French oak barrels (roughly 20% new), then matures on fine lees for 12 months. The wine rests in bottle for a spell prior to release.
“Complex aromas of sliced apples, honey, honeysuckle, lilies and pineapple. Subtle and perfumed. Medium body with some solid phenolics and tension at the end. Lightly candied grapefruit. Drink or hold”
94 points, James Suckling, May 2025
“Subtle though still easily perceptible wood can be found on the fresh, cool and citrusy aromas of mostly white orchard fruit and acacia blossom. There is excellent volume and power to the notably bigger-bodied flavours that brim with sappy dry extract as well as a subtle minerality on the solidly persistent and well-balanced finale.”
90-93 points, Burghound, June 2025
