Meursault, Les Meix Chavaux, 2024

A crisp mineral nose with a tiny bit of smoke, crushed stones and essential citrus oil. On the palate this is both ripe and silky but with a seam of electric, energetic acidity. Excitingly mouthwatering and nervy at heart but not without some highly engaging fruit covering the freshness. 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.
