The beginning of the 2020 Burgundy harvest marked the earliest start to picking in the last 25 years, and the warmer-than-average temperatures with a lack of precipitation reduced the yield of many crops. Thankfully, the grapes that thrived produced wines with unbelievable freshness, texture, concentration, and vibrant acidity.

As one of the oldest villages in Burgundy, this historic region’s limestone soils and diverse geography celebrate the renowned Chardonnay grape. The Meursault vines, planted by the monks of Cîteaux, can be traced as far back as 1098. Located at the foot of the Côte d’Or, Meursault is sheltered from the wind by sloping hills, resulting in grapes that are very concentrated. Known for their rich, intense flavors of apple, hazelnut, and brioche, with brilliant acidity, it is no wonder why Meursault belongs to Burgundy’s famed ‘golden triangle’—a place where you will find some of the world’s finest white wines.

Aged in 15% new French oak with an opulent, round palate, this wine has layers of ripe stone and orchard fruits that are accentuated by an impressive finish.
