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

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!

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