The Chavy-Chouet Vireuils Meursault (Blanc) 2023 is a stunning white Burgundy from a cooler parcel with limestone soils above Meursault, known for producing wines with vibrant acidity and freshness.

This 2023 vintage has already garnered significant praise, with Jeb Dunnuck awarding it 94 points, describing it as "stunning stuff" with 【remarkable minerality】.

The wine is concentrated, powerful, and lively, embodying the classic characteristics of the Meursault appellation with sophistication, structure, and assured elegance. Aromas include ripe pear, white peach, green apple, lemon zest, acacia blossom, citrus flowers, fresh almond, and hazelnut.
