Burgundy
Meursault is the center of four communes that make up the Côte des Blancs, named for the predominantly white wines produced there. The vineyards lie on gentle slopes at 230 meters to 360 meters in elevation, with eastern exposure and chalky soil with white marl. The Chardonnay grapes are fermented in tanks for up to 4 weeks, and then the wine is matured in oak barrels for 12 to 15 months.
Tasting Note
A rich, full-bodied wine that balances firmness with ripe fruit flavors along with notes of oak and vanilla. The wine will develop in the bottle for 8 to 15 years.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
