The Monnier family have been winemakers 'from father to son' since 1720. Whether from Meursault, Volnay, Pommard or Beaune, their wines bear all the qualities and subtleties of the terroir from which they are harvested. This magnificent 2015 is from one of the top three Premiers Crus of Meursault. It's one of the most southerly, on southeast facing slopes, with particularly stony soils, and the grapes reach excellent ripeness whilst still retaining a superb grip of minerality. The wine is carefully handcrafted by Jean-Claude Monnier and his son Nicolas. It has all the golden richness you'd expect of a Meursault, with a taut line of freshness. The lush spice tones gained from careful oak ageing will become more overt with further ageing.
