Description
Domaine Arnaud Baillot Meursault Blanc 2020
Meursault’s vineyard is the most extensive of the Cote de Beaune, where approximately 30 percent are premier crus and 70 percent are village vineyards
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chardonnay. The fruit comes from organic vineyards in Meursault, which has a continental climate with slightly higher temperatures and rainfall. Meursault's vineyards are the most extensive of the Cote de Beaune, where approximately 30% are premier crus and 70% are village vineyards.
Taste Profile: Arnaud Baillot Meursault opens with a beautifully aromatic nose of honey, linden flowers, hazelnut butter, chamomile and just a hint of hawthorn. Beautiful gold colour, silky and round on the palate. Flavours of yellow plum and gingerbread linger long into the finish.
Winemaking Process: Manual harvesting through parcel-by-parcel ripeness monitoring and with grape sorting. Traditional fermentation in oak barrels. The wine then ages in Burgundy Oak for 12 months, 25% new oak. No filtering before bottling.
