Stony Meursault terroir shines through in this 2022 Chardonnay from Xavier Monnot. Mineral-driven and structured, with the firm grip that comes from Les Chevalières' rocky valley floor. A village wine that performs well beyond its classification.

Winemaker Notes

Les Chevalières is a lieu-dit lying behind the town of Meursault in the valley leading towards Auxey-Duresses. It is one of several lieux-dits in Meursault that perform above their official "village" level status. The soil of Les Chevalières is very stony and the wine typically displays a strong mineral character, firm acidity, and piercing tension. "There is always a big spine of acidity in Chevalières," says Monnot. Aged from 12 to 14 months in 15-20% percent new French oak.
