12-14°C
A complex and generous wine, with a rare elegance. The colour is extraordinarily luminous. On the nose, a palette of interesting and varied aromas: syrup, grilled almond, preserved fruit. In the mouth, a silky and ample texture which does not exclude freshness or lightness. Long on the palate, with flavours recalling grilled bread and fruit jam. Always a consummate example of a white Burgundy, this wine is perfection!".
Joseph Drouhin domaine is one of the largest estates in the region. It owns vineyards in all of Burgundy: Chablis , Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise . It is comprised of a majority of Premier and Grand Crus. The Domaine was put together through the years, thanks to judicious purchases and agreements between families. Some vineyards are among the most famous in Burgundy.
For some village or regional appellations, Joseph Drouhin complements its supplies by purchasing grapes from other vineyard owners who have been long time partners and share the same quest of excellence.
At the center of the Meursault appellation. The vineyards were given their names at a very early time, according to the general aspect of the land or the type of vegetation which grew there. This is why we find names such as "genévriers" (juniper trees), "tilleuls" (linden trees), or "Perrières" (stony soil). Soil is very poor, with outcrops of dry, chalky layers.
Pressing very slow so as to respect fruit. Juices from the very last pressings are not retained. No yeasts or enzymes are used. The wine goes directly into barrels after débourbage (decanting of white wine to reduce sediment). Ageing in barrels (25% in new oak). Length 12 months.
