Meursault Sous la Velle Maison Skyaasen 2020

The wine

The Chardonnay vines, planted along the iconic Meursault hillside, thrive in a soil mostly composed of limestone, which produces wines of great minerality. Each vine enjoys the benefits of healthy, balanced viticulture practices, combined with a natural, low-intervention approach. The hand-picked grapes are pressed directly into 228-litre barrels, where fermentation occurs naturally thanks to the native yeasts present on the berries. The cuvée is left to rest on the lees for a year before being bottled unfiltered, with a minute addition of sulphite.
The pale yellow colour unveils an expressive, festive nose, characterised by scents of peach, honey and white flowers. On the palate, the lively attack is sublimated by a fine freshness, leading gently to a fruity, slightly acidic finish.
