2021 Xavier Monnot Meursault "Les Chevalières", Burgundy, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Les Chevalières is a lieu-dit lying behind the town of Meursault in the valley leading towards Auxey-Duresses. It is one of several lieux-dits in Meursault that perform above their official “village” level status. The soil of Les Chevalières is very stony and the wine typically displays a strong mineral character, firm acidity, and piercing tension. There is always a big spine of acidity in Chevalières," says Monnot. Aged from 12 to 14 months in 15-20% percent new French oak.

In 2005, along with improvements in the vineyard and cellar, Xavier began bottling his wines under his own label.
