Our vineyard lies next to some of the best named places (“lieux-dits”) of Meursault. This red wine happily combines finesse and rusticity. Enjoy it with grilled poultry, rib of beef or barbecues while it is young and fruity. After five to seven years it will be a perfect accompaniment to meat in sauces or light game such as partridge or pheasant. |
