Meursault 2023
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Full-bodied dry white wine assembled from multiple sites across this large and diverse village appellation. Rigorous sorting and careful vinification are followed by aging in oak barrels, with malolactic fermentation controlled to ensure a lively sensation on the palate.
Harvest Note
Winter and early Spring were unusually warm and dry however March brought much-needed rainfall which led to homogenous flowering in May. Stormy weather in June was followed by mild late summer, and an unusual September heat wave. Harvest was finished on September 16th, and by picking only in the cool morning hours freshness was preserved.
Tasting Note
Full and expansive upon entry, with subtle blend of citrus, floral, and hazelnut essence, then a long, elegant finish.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
