Meursault, Les Santenots, 1er Cru, 2024

A tiny .3ha plot made up an equal proportion of 70- and 12-year-old vines, and set to do a second winter in barrel, unlike the St. Aubin. A touch more new oak impact here, but of the dry and smoky type, with a scratched citrus oil note and a supple texture. Clearly less ready than the St Aubin, with a mid-weight, subtle character that I fully expect to grow over a second winter on the lees.
