Ideally situated in the commune of Meursault in a place called “Sous la Velle”, this plot sits alongside vineyards classified under the Meursault appellation. Its name references its prime location at the foot of the village. The Chardonnay vines, planted in 1980, are rooted in clay-limestone soil mixed with fine gravel. It has a beautifully complex nose, unleashing aromas of ripe fruit underscored by delicate buttery notes. On the palate, this white Bourgogne is fleshy and full-bodied, offering remarkable depth. Situated near the great terroirs of Meursault, this precise and generous “Sous la Velle” Bourgogne offers a particularly seductive expression of Chardonnay and serves as a remarkable introduction to the world of the great white wines of the Côte de Beaune.
