🏰 The 2022 Xavier Monnot Meursault Les Chevalières is from a landmark vintage for Burgundies, with Vinous noting that Monnot's 2022s have reached an even higher level. This white Burgundy, made from Chardonnay, is highly praised, with ratings up to 94 points from Wine Enthusiast. Les Chevalières is a prized parcel in Meursault, known for balancing generosity and structure. The wine offers aromas and flavours of white flowers, citronella, hazelnut cream, white peach, nectarine, pear, lemon zest, and a hint of citrus peel. Underlying notes of toasted almond, hazelnut, and a gentle buttery character, alongside a subtle flinty edge, add complexity. On the palate, it is beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, with vibrant acidity, a sleek profile, and a long, elegantly spiced, toasty, and smoky finish, revealing an underlying mineral accent. Some tasters note a classic Meursault richness with orchard and white fruits, while others mention a reductive style that may need time to settle. It is recommended to drink now through 2028 or even 2035. 【 A landmark vintage Meursault from a prized vineyard, offering exceptional precision and finesse 】. 🍴 This rich and textural white Burgundy pairs exquisitely with a variety of dishes.
