Domaine François Gaunoux Meursault 'Clos des Meix Chavaux' Monopole 2021
Vintage Character
Meursault 2021 saw devastating spring frosts followed by a damp growing season, and that combination produced smaller crops with wines defined by tension and precision rather than breadth, making the best examples especially compelling for lovers of classic white Burgundy. Domaine François Gaunoux Meursault Clos des Meix Chavaux Monopole comes from a distinctive single-owner clos in the Meix Chavaux sector of Meursault, where stony limestone-rich soils help shape the appellation’s hallmark balance of orchard-fruit generosity and chalky mineral drive.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, this Chardonnay opens with lemon curd, white peach, green apple and hawthorn, then layers in hazelnut, light butter and a discreet smoky mineral note. The palate is medium-full yet tightly drawn, with lively acidity carrying ripe citrus, stone fruit and a subtle creamy texture into a focused, saline finish. In this cooler, more classically styled vintage, a little air can help the wine broaden beautifully in the glass. Pair it with roast chicken with morels, sole meunière, or lobster risotto.
Winery Background
Domaine François Gaunoux is a long-established Meursault family estate known for traditionally raised Burgundy that prizes structure, terroir expression and the ability to age with grace. Under Claudine Gaunoux, the domaine has maintained a restrained cellar philosophy, using élevage to support rather than mask site character, with oak kept measured so the wine’s mineral line stays clear. Its monopole holdings add a further point of distinction, giving the estate rare control over both viticulture and final style in one of Burgundy’s most sought-after white-wine villages.
