In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Golden and luminous, this Meursault opens with aromas of stone fruit, honey and hazelnut, then reveals a vibrant minerality that cuts through its generous structure. The balance between richness and restraint is what makes it sing—mineral snap keeps each sip alive and immediate, yet the wine rewards patience in the glass. At 13.5% abv, it's balanced without ostentation.

The Winery — David Moret

David Moret is a micro-négociant working from a small cellar in Beaune who sources small parcels from top growers rather than farming his own vines. He began his label in 2000 after earlier careers in oenology and winemaking supplies. For the 2023 vintage, a July hailstorm tested the vintage, but meticulous sorting in vineyard and cellar ensured only the finest fruit reached the press. His winemaking is restrained but confident: whole-bunch pressing, indigenous yeast fermentation in French oak (30% new), eleven months of ageing, and bottling without fining or filtration—nothing masks the wine's true character.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is the kind of Premier Cru that belongs at the table and in the cellar. Serve it with broiled fish, roasted chicken, or creamy cheeses like Brie or Saint-Nectaire; it's equally compelling alongside mushroom or truffle dishes and pasta or risotto. The limestone soils of Blagny—tucked between Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet—have earned respect among white Burgundy devotees, and this wine justifies that reputation. If you're exploring Meursault or seeking serious Chardonnay beyond the obvious names, this sits alongside the rest of our selection and represents the classicism that reminds you why these limestone-driven villages matter.
