Wine in Meursault

Xavier Monnot is a leading producer in Meursault whose winemaking style emphasizes purity of fruit, elegance, and complexity. Les Chevalières is a lieu-dit lying behind the town of Meursault in the valley leading towards Auxey-Duresses. It is one of several lieux-dits in Meursault that perform above their official “village” level status. The soil of Les Chevalières is very stony and the wine typically displays a strong mineral character, firm acidity, and piercing tension. There is always a big spine of acidity in Chevalières," says Monnot. Aged from 12 to 14 months in 15-20% percent new French oak. Wines from Meursault are typified by aromas and flavors of ripe melon, hazelnut, and lemon custard, and tend to be broader and more textural than wines from neighboring villages. Aging in 15-20% percent small French oak barrels lends notes of toast and vanilla. White Burgundy, with its richness, texture, and toasted flavors pairs well with light fish and shellfish and can counterbalance cream-based sauces. Oak-aged Chardonnay from warmer climates lends itself well to grilled fish, starches, butter, and toasted nuts.

This wine has great power on the palate. Immense minerality and balanced acidity makes this wine a classic for aging, but shows its great depth and power even when young.

This vineyard is located north of the village of Meursault on the way to Volnay; surprisingly round, with an enchanting mix of spice and mint to the nose and on the palate; excellent weight to this village wine with the classic roundness and buttery texture of this great appellation. The Bitouzet family owns 1.5 hectares of “Les Corbins” which sits just underneath the 1er Cru “Les Plures”. The vines were planted in a trio of years: 1974, 1978, 1987. The soil is a particularly deep and rocky clay-limestone mix. Two barrels per year are reserved for the USA (approximately 600 bottles) and we usually put up an additional lot of half bottles.

This wine is wonderfully elegant and pure with notes of lime, acacia blossom and roasted nut leading to precise, intense and precise flavors that remain round, accessible and intense yet possess the underlying tension and acid/fruit balance that suggests that this will reward 4 to 6 years of cellar time.

A brilliant light yellow color. The very pleasant expressive and complex nose opens up with floral and slightly woody notes. The attack is bold and precise, then on the palate, this wine is full and harmonious. It has a certain vivaciousness, which gives it good length on the palate and very long-lasting aromas. The hamlet of Blagny is located high on the hillside above Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault and represents an entirely unique terroir. This 1er Cru vineyard is located directly adjacent to the 1er Cru “La Pièce Sous le Bois” and overlooks the vineyards of Perrières and Champ Canet in Puligny-Montrachet. About the Winery: Founded in 1825, Domaine Faiveley combines the principles of modern winemaking methods with the time-honored traditions that have been practiced for centuries within their 19th century cellars. Each terroir and each vintage, benefits from special attention which makes the cuvées unique. Each bottle therefore becomes the faithful reflection of its terroir. Critical Acclaim: 2018: (90-92) points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate “The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Blagny (Maison) exhibits aromas of citrus oil, crisp green pear and white flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and charming palate that's elegantly textural and rounded, concluding with an enlivening mineral finish.” William Kelley, Wine Advocate

Maison Louis Jadot Meursault have a fragrant, ripe, full fruited bouquet which is confirmed on the palate, a generous, supple texture and the distinctive hazelnut and spice nuances which carry into a persistent finish of great finesse. Meursault is rich enough to match foods like fish in a cream sauce, shellfish, poultry with cream and white meat.

Bright yellow. Aromas of ripe peach and dusty brown spices. Ripe flavors of peach and soft citrus fruits are complicated by toasty oak and nuts. Juicy and nicely balanced but tails off a bit on the slightly spiky finish.

Our winemaking is practical and is based on Burgundy practices and tradition. That is to say that there are no great wines without great grapes; thus our focus is on the vineyard and the work necessary to harvest the ripest grapes possible. Each growing season is different and we respect what nature gives; we harvest when the grapes are ready (not when it is convenient for us) and use the grapes indigenous yeasts.We understand that wine is as much a living product and is the vine.

Top notch Meursault from one of the best communes within this most illustrious of Burgundian appellations. It is already starting to drink well but it will improve over the next 4 or so years. Lovely rich, buttery and slightly nutty flavours. This is a very serious white wine and all you’d expect from this excellent appellation.
