Meursault
Clos de la Velle
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.
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.
