Tasting Notes
This Meursault Les Chevalières 2022 seduces with its elegance and finesse. The nose opens with subtle aromas of white flowers, lemongrass and hazelnut cream, enhanced by a touch of almond. On the palate, it reveals great concentration, with lively acidity bringing freshness and balance. Spicy notes of ginger and marmalade energize the mid-palate, while the persistent, complex finish offers subtle hints of toast and smoke. A wine bursting with purity, to be enjoyed now.

Vinification and Aging
Meursault Les Chevalières 2022 is aged in 350-liter barrels, 25% of which are new oak, to limit the impact of wood and preserve the expression of terroir. Aging lasts between 12 and 14 months before bottling, allowing the wine to develop its full complexity and balance.
