75cl

APPELLATION: The Meursault appellation, located 8 km from Beaune, has a soil composed mainly of Comblanchien hard limestone and sinks into the depths at the height of Nuits-Saint-Georges and here it reappears rather than heading south. We are abandoning the reds in favor of hilly white wine. The vineyard is made up of 96% white wines and 4% red wines. The best terrains are found at approximately 260 meters above sea level with an oblique exposure from east to south. There are occasional undertones of magnesium limestone. The vineyard is exceptional for its calcareous marl.
The wines are divided between the ancient Callovian limestones and the Argovian marl rocks.
