This premier cru comes from the Meursault appellation in Burgundy, known for producing exceptional Chardonnay wines. The vineyard features limestone-rich soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful hand-harvesting and gentle pressing, followed by fermentation in oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant and complex, with aromas of ripe citrus, white flowers, and toasted hazelnuts.
