Meursault 1er Cru La pièce sous le bois
Grape variety 100% Chardonnay
Servicing temperature 12-14°
Ageing 6-8 ans
Plot
South of Beaune, between Volnay and Puligny-Montrachet, the Meursault vineyard opens a golden door, that of "La Côte des Blancs". On this exceptional terroir, the wines of Meursault magnify the expression of Chardonnay.
Vinification / Aging
The grapes are pressed directly after harvest, then the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place 100% in oak barrels. Aging lasts around 12 months before bottling.
Tasting
The Meursault comes in a gold-green color, slightly accentuated with age. Clear and brilliant; it is often accompanied by silvery highlights. Its bouquet evokes the ripe bunch. On the palate, a rich and fatty wine with a delicious and joyful nutty flavor. The balance between creamy and freshness, declining all the registers of silk. Long, structured, it needs maturity.
Food and wine pairing
Its aromatic power and exceptional balance based on fat and acidity allow it to go well with noble meats and fish with a beautiful texture. Veal, poultry in white sauce or grilled shellfish.
