Meursault En Luraule AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Meursault En Luraule AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum by Rémi Jobard

Character

Rémi Jobard counts among the quiet greats of the Côte de Beaune – a winemaker who places precision above pomp and whose wines always let the place speak, not the cellar technique. The Meursault En Luraule embodies this philosophy precisely: a village wine with the inner stature of a Premier Cru. In the impressive magnum bottle (1500 ml), the wine finds ideal ageing conditions – the larger volume slows development and lends it additional depth and longevity. A wine for the patient, one that rewards with time.

Terroir & Origin

The vineyard site En Luraule lies in the heart of Meursault, that Burgundian village which more than any other stands for the grandeur of white Chardonnay. The limestone-rich, well-drained soils of the Côte de Beaune shape wines of mineral substance and fine texture. The 2022 vintage was exceptionally warm and sunny in Burgundy – a year that produced ripe, concentrated wines with natural fullness, whilst retaining the freshness and minerality so characteristic of Meursault. A vintage with expressiveness and character.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Chardonnay, as it finds perhaps its most convincing expression in Meursault. Rémi Jobard works with the greatest care in vineyard and cellar – traditional oak ageing, restrained use of new wood, so as not to mask the terroir. The alcohol content of 13.0% vol. points to a balanced, elegant structure – not opulent, but precise. Residual sugar is minimal, the wine clear and dry in its orientation.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A wine of this calibre deserves worthy accompaniment. Classic and unbeatable: scallops with beurre blanc, lobster or langoustines in refined preparation. Excellent too with sweetbreads, creamy risottos with white truffle or a mature Comté. The magnum bottle makes it the ideal companion for a festive dinner – a wine that brings tables together and sets conversations alight.
