PRE-ARRIVAL 2022 Francois Gaunoux Meursault Clos des Meix Chavaux Monopole 750Ml Bottle

This is a 3.5ha monopole with 70yo vines. When the family took over in 2013 the vines needed work and had previously been machine-picked says Claudine. The elevation is 250Mt and the site is below the last before Auxey commune, and it is close to Les Luchetes and Les Chevalieres, both very famous! "The wine opens with a chalky nose, supported by plenty of lemon sherbet, a touch of struck match and a hint of cashew. On the palate, there is plenty of beautiful ripe fruit, with hints of mango, yellow peach and nectarine. The texture is incredibly smooth, yet there is a freshness from the lively acidity. This is a far cry from many of the rich, over-oaked Meursaults on the market. The wines also show subtle and well-integrated complexity from the lees' ageing, lending a creamy and biscuity twist to the long finish." BBR note on the '20 for indicative purposes.
