Meursault “Les Vignes de Marguerite” AOC 2021

Wine Description for Meursault “Les Vignes de Marguerite” AOC 2021 by Henri & Gilles Buisson

Colour & Appearance

Clear, brilliant straw yellow with silvery reflections.

Nose

An aristocratic bouquet of great clarity. Dominant notes of citrus zest and white peach meet the hazelnut character typical of Meursault, yet here finely chiselled. A cool, smoky minerality reminiscent of wet limestone lends depth to the nose.

Palate

The 2021 demonstrates the full virtue of a cooler vintage: it is taut, focused and driven by vibrant acidity. On the palate it presents itself athletically rather than opulently, with aromas of fresh Granny Smith, sea salt and a delicate brioche texture, perfectly balanced through precise winemaking.

Finish

Long-lasting and remarkably clean. The aftertaste is characterised by saline minerality and a fine grip that makes the wine remarkably invigorating.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from vineyard sites in Meursault, shaped by calcareous clay soils. Domaine Buisson, deeply rooted in Saint-Romain, brings its expertise in freshness and transparency to this prestigious appellation.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Chardonnay. Consistently farmed biodynamically (Biodyvin certified). Maturation is carried out with minimal intervention to preserve the cool typicity of the terroir.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Excellent with roasted turbot, lobster with beurre blanc or classic veal sweetbreads. Also a delight with aged Comté.

Special Characteristics

A Meursault for purists. Those seeking rich buttery notes will be disappointed – but those who appreciate precision, energy and terroir expression will find in Marguerite a revelation.
