Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay sourced from "Les Perrières," universally acknowledged as Meursault's greatest Premier Cru, boasting Grand Cru caliber and pedigree.
  • Grown on an ancient limestone quarry site composed of fractured Bathonian limestone and razor-thin, rocky stony topsoils, imparting unparalleled mineral cut and structural tension.
  • Produced by David Moret, the renowned Beaune-based artisan micro-négociant celebrated for his meticulous parcel selection and masterly elevage of prestigious Côte de Beaune terroirs.
  • Aged for approximately 12 to 15 months in select French oak barrels (around 35% new oak) followed by stainless steel settling to seamlessly meld oak structure with chiselled primary fruit.
  • From the warm, concentrated, yet harmonious 2022 Burgundy harvest; delivers monumental dry extract today with the architecture to cellar effortlessly through 2037+.

Tasting Notes

Pale, brilliant gold with crystalline green glints, it reveals a commanding, laser-focused bouquet of crisp white peach, Meyer lemon oil, and green orchard apple, interwoven with white acacia blossom, crushed flint, wet limestone, and faint nuances of toasted hazelnut. The palate is full-bodied, structured, and razor-sharp, delivering dense fruit concentration across a surging core of electric limestone acidity, culminating in a monumental, salivating, and distinctly saline finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 11–13°C in generous Grand Cru white Burgundy stemware.
  • Decanting: Decant for 30 to 45 minutes prior to serving to allow its muscular limestone framework and refined aromatics to unfurl; pairs exquisitely with line-caught sea bass, butter-poached lobster, roasted sweetbreads, or aged Comté. Optimal drinking window 2026 through 2037+.
