2022 Xavier Monnot Meursault Le Limozin

Aromas of lime blossom, hazelnut, and citrus lead into a palate of ripe melon and lemon custard. Lively acidity balances a creamy texture that lingers through a toasty oak finish.

Hand-harvested Chardonnay is lightly crushed by foot before pressing and fermenting with indigenous yeasts in oak barrels. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation and ages for twelve to fourteen months in French oak, including 25% new barrels.

Xavier Monnot represents the sixth generation of his family’s winemaking tradition in Meursault. Le Limozin is a lieu-dit vineyard situated just below the Premier Cru Genevrières, where fifty-year-old vines grow in a concentrated mix of clay and limestone soil.
