Héritage

Meursault Les Pellans

The iconic richness of a great Burgundian village. Deep, stony terroir. A full-bodied, rich Chardonnay.

Tasting notes and pairings

To the eye, this wine reveals a beautiful, clear golden yellow color; on the nose, intense notes of lemon and fern; on the palate, a beautiful texture. Rich and supple, it reveals slightly oaky notes upon tasting. This wine, served between 12 and 14°C, will pair well with scallop carpaccio with yuzu, pikeperch on the skin, or leek fondue with cream.

Our Vineyard

Located south of Meursault, near Puligny-Montrachet, this vineyard is at an altitude of approximately 225 meters. The slope is gentle and the exposure is east/southeast. Covering an area of ​​0.43 hectares, this old Chardonnay vine, over 55 years old, is planted on clay-limestone soil known as the "pied de côte complex": limestone, sand, silt, marl, and clay are the result of erosion from the higher slopes. In this case, from the neighboring plot of Meursault Premier Cru Les Charmes.

  • Etymology
    In Meursault, Les Pellans, Les Pelles-Dessous, and Les Pelles-Dessus were once meadows located on wetland. Les Pellans, near the source of the Limozin, takes its name from the Old French PEVLE ("pasture"), of which "Pelle" is a variant. The other two localities, near Les Crotots, share this origin, recalling their past as grassy and wet areas suitable for grazing.
