Meursault "En l'Ormeau" -
Located south of the Meursault village. Our parcel of land is from the vineyard behind Domaine Boyer-Martenot and next door to «Magny». Our old vines were planted by Vincent’s great grandmother Lucie in 1924 and have rooted deep into the clay soil that once housed elm trees used for building and construction. The richness in the soil helps create a very balanced and fresh wine.

Delightful from the first smell, very expressive with hints of toast and cooked peaches. Licorice with a hint of spice and citrus, finishing off with a touch of wood.
Palate :
Very big and consistent wine allowing us to discover flavours of sweet citrus, peppers and walnuts. This wine is a beautiful combination of freshness and delicacy, including a light acidity towards the end. With so many flavours it is impressive how the wine stays so balanced. The finish has generous warmth and a rich harmony.
