Velouté de poireaux aux huîtresOur oenologists' opinion
Fruity and well-rounded
This straw-yellow wine offers an open nose with notes of white fruit and acacia, with a hint of elder syrup. On the palate, it has a supple attack, tension and fullness with a character on freshness and white flowers.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Do you know ?
Burgundy wines are produced mainly with single grape varieties. The leading varieties, the pinot noir and chardonnay grapes, thrive in this region with a semi-continental climate to produce exceptional red and white wines.
Domain and appellation
-
Château de Meursault
Founded in the XIth century, the domain of the Château de Meursault has never ceased to extend the size of its vineyard.
- Terroir: The Clos du Château is a plot of 8 hectares of chardonnay, planted in 1975. The vines lie on a soil of light limestone alluvium.
- Viticulture: The yield is controlled thanks to a manual fruit thinning made with a secater. Also, a reasoned agriculture has been set up.
- Wine-making: A slow and progressive pressurization precedes a static settling of 12 hours. The must are then put in oak barrels to start fermenting alcohol. The wine is then brought up in new barrels (25%), in barrels of one or two wines and in stainless steel tanks, for 12 to 15 months.
