The vines are on average 50 years old.
Blending of plots as close as possible to the heart of the Meursault appellation between Meix Chavaux, Murgers and Monthelie. Aging in wood for 1 year, with 20% new barrels to take advantage of the structure provided by the wood and not the aromas that would mask the wine itself

Pale yellow color, brilliant and limpid
On the nose, aromas of hazelnuts and walnuts, toast, reinette apple and already a very present minerality (flint).
On the palate, an aromatic complexity based on both roundness and liveliness, minerality and smoothness make it one of the greatest white wines of Burgundy.
