✨ wine.spec_sheet
Crafted from selected parcels of old Chardonnay vines, the Vieilles Vignes from Château de Meursault represents a deep connection to the limestone-rich soils of the Côte de Beaune. These ancient vines, with their deep root systems, yield lower quantities of highly concentrated fruit, imparting a signature mineral intensity and rich texture to the wine. Matured in French oak barrels within the estate's historic 12th-century double-vaulted cellars, this white Burgundy undergoes a slow aging process that beautifully integrates toasted brioche, hazelnut, and ripe stone fruit aromas, maintaining a vibrant acidity that defines the classic Meursault style.
