Louis Jadot Meursault (Magnum) 2017
Louis Jadot Meursault is a classic white Burgundy from the heart of the Côte de Beaune, crafted from Chardonnay grapes grown on the chalky soils that define this celebrated appellation. With its rich texture, elegant minerality and refined complexity, this is Meursault at its finest—a wine that beautifully expresses the terroir and winemaking expertise of one of Burgundy's most respected houses. Why You'll Love It This is Meursault from one of Burgundy's legendary producers—rich, elegant, and beautifully balanced. Maison Louis Jadot has been crafting exceptional Burgundy wines since 1859, and their Meursault showcases the house's commitment to quality and terroir expression. The result is a wine that combines classic Burgundian finesse with the distinctive character of Meursault's chalky soils, offering exceptional depth and ageing potential. Vineyard & Production Sourced from village vineyards spread over gentle slopes between 230 and 360 metres above sea level in Meursault, the centre of the Côte des Blancs. The eastern orientation provides ideal sunlight, while chalky soils with white marl are perfectly suited to Chardonnay. Grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed, then fermented in oak barrels produced by the CADUS cooperage, with one-third new oak. Ageing lasts 15 months on fine lees before bottling, building texture and complexity. Tasting Notes This elegant Meursault opens with aromas of ripe orchard fruit, citrus and subtle oak, layered with notes of hazelnut, butter and white flowers. The palate is rich and textured, showing stone fruit and citrus with mineral undertones and a touch of vanilla. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity and lasting complexity. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine, perfect with seafood, sushi, salmon tartar, escargots, chicken yakitori, vegetable tart, goat cheese, fish & chips, or creamy pasta. Also excellent with refined dining and special occasions. The Blend Chardonnay from Meursaul
Meursault Premier Cru, Les Charmes, Domaine Yves Boyer-Martenot 2021
This 4th generation estate is now run by Vincent Boyer, whose unique take on Meursault is already making serious waves in the Cote d'Or. The domaine practices organic farming, uses only indigenous yeasts and minimal new oak, while every winter the wines ferment in either cement vats or 900 litre oak foudres, preserving the integrity of the fruit. The wines mature gently at cooler temperatures and thus they require less filtration and fining. Vincent is one of the rising stars of Burgundy and his tenacity is evident in his sumptuous yet impeccably balanced wines that provide a fresh perspective on Meursault. This estate is truly a hidden gem of Burgundy!
