Domaine Bernard Millot presents its 2022 Meursault Assemblage Blanc, a quintessential expression of this esteemed Côte de Beaune appellation. Sourced from various village parcels, this 'assemblage' approach allows the domaine to craft a wine that embodies the broader Meursault terroir, balancing richness with underlying minerality. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is noted for its generous ripeness coupled with excellent acidity, promising both immediate appeal and significant ageing potential. This Chardonnay undergoes traditional vinification, often involving barrel fermentation and extended lees contact, contributing to its characteristic texture and depth.
Tasting notes
The 2022 Meursault Assemblage Blanc reveals a luminous golden hue. On the nose, complex aromas of toasted almond, hazelnut, and buttered brioche interlace with notes of ripe yellow apple, lemon curd, and a subtle flinty minerality. The palate is full-bodied and expansive, showcasing a creamy texture balanced by a vibrant acidity. Flavours of orchard fruit, citrus zest, and a distinct nutty character persist through a long, saline finish, indicative of its Burgundian origins. This wine is structured for evolution.
