Domaine Philippe Germain Meursault 'Les Vireuils' 2022
Vintage Character
Domaine Philippe Germain Meursault Les Vireuils 2022 is a village-level lieu-dit Meursault from the Côte de Beaune, crafted from Chardonnay grown on one of the higher-situated sites above the village. The 2022 vintage is widely regarded as strong in Burgundy: a warm, dry growing season brought generous ripeness, while timely freshness in the fruit helped preserve balance and definition. Les Vireuils is known for giving Meursault a subtly more lifted, tensile profile, with the slope and stonier limestone-rich soils contributing energy, mineral line, and a refined shape beneath the appellation’s hallmark breadth.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, this wine shows citrus blossom, lemon curd, white peach and crisp pear, layered with hazelnut, light vanilla and a gentle buttery pastry note. The palate is dry and medium-full, combining Meursault’s creamy texture with bright acidity and a fine chalky tension that carries the wine through a persistent, savory finish. It should pair beautifully with roast chicken with morels, seared scallops in brown butter, or sole meunière, dishes that echo both its richness and its precision.
Winery Background
Domaine Philippe Germain is a family estate based in Nantoux in the Côte de Beaune, with Philippe Germain and the next generation, Maxime Germain, shaping a style rooted in clarity and terroir expression. The domaine is known for sustainable vineyard work and careful fruit selection, aiming to let each parcel speak without excessive cellar handling. In the winery, the approach is traditionally Burgundian, with élevage in French oak used to support rather than dominate the wine, preserving the tension and mineral detail that make this cuvée especially distinctive among village Meursaults.
