Tasting notes
The elegance of this Meursault is revealed through a delicate nose, with notes of toast and pome fruits. On the palate, it presents a graceful structure, blending richness and freshness. Its depth and aromatic intensity unfold with brilliance, offering a beautiful finish.
The Vineyard
The “Les Grands Charrons” Climat is located mid-slope, at an altitude of 250 meters. This Chardonnay plot, with eastern exposure, finds its roots in a rocky soil composed of Comblanchien limestone.
The well-drained terroir and generous sunlight pave the way for straight wines, luminous and taut, emblematic of great whites of Meursault.
The Vintage
2022 is synonymous with a vintage of great quality and the return of satisfying volumes.
After a mild and dry winter, the growing season arrived early. Spared by the April frost, the warm spring accelerated plant growth, favoring early flowering and optimal fruit set. After particularly dry spells during winter and spring, late June rains were timely. A hot, dry and at times scorching summer allowed for a good ripening, although in places the vines did react to hydric stress.
Mid-August rainfall will be decisive by constant sunshine until the harvests, which started on 25th August in the Côte de Beaune and 2nd September in the Côte de Nuits.
