Meursault
Les Meix Chavaux
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.

Tasting
Tasting note
Very typical from Meursault, a little tense, with a beautiful acidity. Not very sensitive to over maturity. It's a sappy wine and energise with a good balance.
Can be aged.
Ideal for an unostentatious Meursault lover.
