Meursault

Les Clous

The word Clous is a closer word to "Clos" meaning "Enclosed Garden" (Burgundian variant)

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

The hillside vineyard, facing due east, is divided into two parts of which the lower is clearly the better. There is plenty of clay in the soil but in a brittle version, thus easy to work. Our plot is located in Clous Dessus on the border of Tillets.
