Vintage Character The 2023 vintage in Meursault was marked by a warm, dry summer punctuated by timely rainfall, producing Chardonnay grapes with excellent ripeness and balanced acidity. Arnaud et Sophie AS Meursault 'Grands Charrons' expresses the hallmark minerality and finesse of this renowned village-level lieu-dit, offering a luminous bouquet of ripe pear, white peach, and subtle citrus, complemented by hints of toasted hazelnut and a touch of wet stone.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The palate is both precise and creamy, energized by vibrant acidity and mineral tension, with flavors of lemon curd, almond, and brioche leading to a persistent, saline finish. This Meursault pairs beautifully with seared scallops in beurre blanc, roast chicken with tarragon, or a wedge of Comté cheese, each dish enhanced by the wine’s depth and elegance.

The 'Grands Charrons' cuvée stands as a testament to their dedication to crafting terroir-driven wines with refined power and complexity.
