Olivier Leflaive Frères Meursault Vireuils 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

Terroir is located on the top of the hill, near the village of Auxey Duresses. It is a brown limestone, stony soil. Blending of vineyards from the parts of Dessus and Dessous (upper and lower parts).

Vinification

The grapes are grown sustainably in calcareous clay soil. 100% manual harvest. 100% Chardonnay. 100% whole bunch, 24h static settling. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. 18 months ( 6 months in stainless steel tank) 100% in oak barrels ( 20% of new oak)

Tasting Notes

This wine is all elegance and finesse with very chiseled and defined aromatics of lemons and yellow grapefruit. On the palate, it is a fresh and mineral wine.

Food Pairing

Ideal with sole meunière and spring vegetables, langoustines, orange and vegetable tagliatelle or Pâté Pantin.
