The basis for the balanced Meursault from Burgundy are grapes from the Chardonnay grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Burgundy. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of limestone and marl. Meursault is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Frenchman breathes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of Old World wines. The grapes for this white wine from France are harvested, at the time of optimal ripeness, exclusively by hand. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully ground. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures. At the end of the fermentation, the Meursault is left to mature on its fine lees for a few months.
