Meursault, Clos des Grands Charrons, Monopole, 2018

There is not a huge amount of soil in this vineyard, you very quickly get down to limestone rock. It shows in the wine with a Meursault Perrières-like minerality giving drive and a salty kick to more traditional Meursault flavours of butter, ripe citrus fruit and roasted nut. Deep but lively and beautifully balanced. A very well-situated Monopole lieu-dit from the mid-slope, on the same level as Perrières, that shows more intensity and precision than most Meursault villages. Aged for 15 months in 35% new oak.
