Meursault

1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Âne - Récolte du Domaine

The stone mound extracted from the vines of this sector can make you think of the back of a donkey with the reflection of the light. It can simply evoke a movement of land or its relief. Harvest of the Domain.

The 2022 vintage brought serenity back to the vineyard with a heathy 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.
