Meursault
1er Cru Les Caillerets
The 2022 vintage brought serenity back to the vineyard with a healthy harvest and correct volumes. With rainfall accumulations far from excessive, the year 2022 was marked by average temperatures higher than seasonal norms and rainfall deficits from the start of the vine’s vegetative cycle. At the beginning of April, episodes of frost will recall the terrible nights of April 6 and 7 of 2021, but fortunately with an impact beyond measure. The year 2022 is the year of all records for sunshine with the equivalent of an additional month of July.

Wine with an open and expressive nose. Stone fruits such as peach delicately perfume this wine with touches of eucalypstus and liquorice. On the palate the fruit brings fullness and sapidity to the finish.
