From a small combe high up at the edge of Meursault bordering the appellation of Puligny, Antoine feels Blagny’s enclosed position means the fruit ripens a little earlier than his other vineyards, and so is one of the first to be picked. The wine has a fantastic ripe and juicy fruit nature, but the earlier picking policy gives a fine citrus edge and an enticing herbaceous lift to his cuvée.?
Pale lemon in colour. A slightly more chiselled nose than the village Meursault, yet clearly ripe. Fullish white fruit, concentrated apples and a pear or two, well-constructed with a long finish. Drink from 2029-2034.

Meursault is the first great white wine area that one stumbles upon on leaving Beaune. Unlike other white dominated appellations in Burgundy, Meursault has no grand cru vineyards. It nonetheless has significant flair and power which make up for this deficiency. Indeed, if tasted blind some of these wines could even surpass other Burgundian grand crus. They are no fainting daisies. This may partially be due to Meursault's lower water table which enables the roots to delve deep in the soil picking up many trace minerals and which further stresses the vines. In addition, the cellars are more profound and cooler, enabling long fermentations, which increase complexity and longevity. Some interesting red wines are also made.
