Based in Meursault, Xavier Monnot grew these grapes at a two-acre parcel of 50-year-old vines in Le Limozin, a lieu-dit just below the premier cru Les Genevrières. It’s broad and luscious, more about power right now than detail, though touches of herbs, bitter melon rind and red apple, as well as a mineral clarity, hint at the distinction that should come forward as the youthful intensity subsides.

Though rich and honeyed, this white is backed by lively acidity, showcasing lemon cake, apple and peach fruit. Vanilla and clove accents add detail as this cruises to a long finish.
