Meursault

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

The tumulus formed by the stones extracted from the ground looks like the back of a donkey with the reflection of the light. It can simply recall a movement of land or its topography.

A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.

Tasting

Tasting note

The nose is floral, poised, with a serene and assured elegance. On the palate, we find a beautiful structure, supported by aromas that blend harmoniously. The finish is intense and beautifully broad. An even finer and more accomplished persistence: a truly great wine!

Food pairings

A pretty bottle to pair with crayfish quenelles with Nantua sauce or Scallops just seared, chestnut shavings cooked in butter and thyme
