Meursault „Les Vignes de Marguerite“ AOC 2022

Wine description for Meursault „Les Vignes de Marguerite“ AOC 2022 by Henri & Gilles Buisson

Character

Meursault is one of Burgundy’s great white terroirs – a place that gives Chardonnay a distinctive voice: rich, yet never heavy, carried by an inner tension that makes drinking it a matter for reflection. The „Les Vignes de Marguerite“ from Henri & Gilles Buisson bears this name with dignity. At an alcohol content of 13.0% vol. and with a dry profile, it promises balance between fullness and freshness – a wine that tells of its origins, not of technique.

Terroir & Origin

Meursault lies in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, on limestone soils that give Chardonnay that creamy texture and mineral depth for which the village is world-renowned. The 2022 vintage was marked in Burgundy by exceptional warmth and early ripeness – a year that produced ripe, concentrated wines, but in the hands of careful winemakers could also preserve elegance and structure. The Côte d’Or demands a delicate touch, and 2022 rewarded those who bet on balance.

Grape variety & Vinification

Pure Chardonnay, as it has been cultivated in Meursault for centuries. The Buisson family from Saint-Romain stands for a craft-driven, respectful approach to their vineyard sites. One can expect an élevage that emphasises the natural texture of the terroir – likely with carefully deployed oak barrels that add depth without dominating the wine. The result should be a Meursault that combines nuttiness, ripe stone fruit and vibrant minerality.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A classic companion for the Burgundian table. Excellent with Poulet à la crème or Blanquette de veau. Equally convincing with grilled turbot, scallops with butter sauce or a mature Comté. For those who prefer simplicity: a good rotisserie chicken and a laid table – nothing more is needed.
