The winemaking involves long aging in a high proportion of new French oak and stirring of the lees to add a creamy texture and toasty depth. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Meursault, with a rich and creamy texture, notes of citrus, hazelnut, and stone fruit, with a long, elegant, chalky finish. It is a perfect choice for those seeking to experience the optimal expression of this famous subregion of Burgundy.
