Tasting note

Generous, rounded Meursault, offering a blast of toasted almonds and honey, followed by ripe fruit and buttery oak in the mouth.

Viticulture

In order to respect the terroir, no chemicals are used in the vineyard and ploughing is only carried out to preserve the soil. The vines are grown in a combination of stone and limestone soils.

Vinification

The hand harvested grapes are sourced exclusively from the single vineyard 'Les Perrieres' which is rated as 1er Cru quality. After a gentle pneumatic pressing the juice is left over night to cold settle before a cool fermentation in steel. Ageing is in french barrique before bottling with a light filtration.

Food Match

Fried shrimp with peanut sauce, Chinese barbecued pork with garlic sauce or salmon mousse with salmon roe and crudites.
