Meursault
Clos de la Velle
A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.
Vineyard
Clos de la Velle is in the upper part of Sous la Velle, adjacent to Château de la Velle, a magnificent 13th century property. Deep, rich top soils over a rocky base enable good year-round drainage.
