This prestigious white Burgundy is a Meursault Premier Cru Cuv e from the historic Hospices de Beaune, meticulously aged and bottled by the venerable house of Albert Bichot. The cuv e honors Jehan Humblot, who in 1600 bequeathed valuable vineyards in Meursault to the H tel-Dieu. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay grown across prized premier cru parcels, this wine represents the pinnacle of Meursault's legendary terroir. Albert Bichot's master winemakers oversee the traditional barrel fermentation and aging in French oak, resulting in a white Burgundy of profound complexity that balances toasted hazelnut, ripe stone fruit, and white flowers with a vibrant, mineral-driven acidity.
