In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Golden Burgundy at its most approachable and generous, offering ripe stone fruit and hazelnut butter without austere grip. The 2023 vintage delivered exceptional ripeness and balance across the region, captured beautifully here. Full-bodied and creamy on the palate, yet held together by a mineral spine that speaks to the calcareous soils of the valley. This is a wine that works equally well as an aperitif or at table, sitting comfortably and aging gracefully if cellared.

The Winery — David Moret

A micro-négociant working from a small cellar in Beaune, David Moret sources grapes from top growers rather than relying on family vineyards. After studying oenology and working in winemaking supplies, he established his eponymous label in 2000 and has since built a quiet reputation for quality and precision. For this wine, he selected grapes from vines averaging forty years old in an ideal pocket — calcareous, shallow soils at 200–330 metres elevation with southerly exposure. After careful sorting following mid-July hailstorms, whole-bunch pressing and indigenous yeast fermentation in 228-litre French oak (20% new) allowed the fruit to sing for eleven months of aging. Bottled unfiltered and unfined, the wine retains the mineral precision that distinguishes serious Meursault from richer Chardonnays elsewhere.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is the kind of bottle that justifies why Meursault commands respect. Pair it beautifully with roasted chicken, butter and cream sauces, and aged cheeses — equally at home with shellfish, white fish, mushroom and truffle, or oily fish. An ideal gift for those who appreciate understated refinement, it's worth cellaring for those patient enough to wait. Serve at 8–10°C.
