Meursault, Les Meix Chavaux, 2023
A higher-acidity, more linear offering than the Clos du Cromin, with excellent energy and finishing intensity. Citrus-driven and cleansing Meursault that should flesh out with just a couple of years in bottle. With its north-east exposure and poor, sandy and stony soils, this is not your typical Meursault. Taut and mineral with an intensity coming from limestone terroir planted in 1950, this is typically a village Meursault of great class. Aged in 20% new oak for 12 months followed by six months in tank.
critic reviews
The 2023 Meursault Meix Chavaux has a generous, lively bouquet with orange rind, apricot and touches of Anjou pear that burst forth with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a tangy entry. It's slightly low in acidity but has pure fruit with a tangerine-tinged finish. Fine.
