The soils around Meursault are extremely diverse, but for the local Chardonnay, limestone and calcareous marl soils are particularly important. The limestone gives the wines more natural acidity and freshness, while the clay content in the calcareous marl supports the development of complex aromas.
This white wine is made from 100% Chardonnay. The leading grape variety for white wines in Burgundy, Chardonnay is particularly prized for its fruity acidity, reminiscent of green apples, pears, and citrus fruits, often complemented by nutty, sweet, or slightly smoky nuances. Traditional aging in oak barrels adds a creamy note to the fresh aromas.
