TASTE
Combining the influences of cool vineyard and warm vintage, this wine offers a winning blend of bright herbal/green apple aroma with nutty richness and depth.
PRODUCER
Occupying an impressive nineteenth-century building in Savigny-Lès- Beaune, Henri de Villamont is a medium-sized producer that combines an enviable domaine (they are particularly strong in Chambolle-Musigny) with a meticulously sourced négociant range. The cuverie was updated with the latest equipment less than ten years ago, and underneath there is ample storage for barrels in the beautiful double-height cellar. These features give the winemaker flexibility and precision, resulting in excellent expression of the various terroirs on offer, which include some particularly well-sited vineyards.
VINEYARD
This vineyard is, as the name suggests, high up the slope. It occupies a north-facing vantage point adjacent to well-known Meursault Les Vireuils, and consists of typical clay-limestone soil. The vines were hand- harvested in one pass on September 18th.
WINERY
The wine was fermented and matured for ten months in barrel, with twenty percent new wood.
