A village Meursault that drinks like a premier cru, flinty and saline with citrus, hazelnut and stony depth.

What it pairs with

  • Poulet de Bresse a la creme
    The prized Bresse chicken in cream sauce mirrors a barrel-aged Meursault's weight and nut-and-butter palate.
  • Quenelle de brochet sauce Nantua Find quenelle de brochet sauce nantua on TableJourney →
    The dumpling's creamy crayfish sauce meets a taut white Burgundy that cuts the richness and lifts the shellfish.
  • Aged Comte
    Nutty alpine cheese amplifies a mature Chardonnay's hazelnut and brown-butter notes.
