Olivier Leflaive Frères Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Âne - Récolte du Domaine 2022

About

Disappeared in the depths of the soil near Nuits-Saint-Georges, the hard Comblanchien limestone reappears here while going south, we leave the red wines to visit the whites. These excellent vineyard lands were developed by the monks of Cîteaux as early as 1098. The Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée was established in 1937. Meursault also produces a small quantity of red wine. The most beautiful terrain is located around 260 meters altitude, with an exposure that slants from east to south.

Terroir

Next to Meursault Perrières Dessus, on the territory of Blagny.

Vinification

The grapes are grown following HVE (High Environmental Value, level 3) standards in calcareous clay soil. 100% manual harvest. 100% Chardonnay. 100% whole grapes, 24h static settling. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. 18 months ( 6 months in stainless steel tank) 100% in oak barrels ( 25% of new oak)

Tasting Notes

This wine skillfully combines aromas of dried fruit, hazelnut and orange, creating a harmonious and seductive aromatic palette. The plot is punchy and the length is very present.

Food Pairing

A pretty bottle to pair with crayfish quenelles with Nantua sauce or Scallops just seared, chestnut shavings cooked in butter and thyme
