2021 Arnaud Baillot Meursault Sous La Velle

"Sous La Velle" is a specific vineyard (lieu-dit) in Meursault, located at a slightly lower altitude just below the village center. The name "Sous La Velle" refers to its location under the old cellars of Meursault. The vineyard has a calcareous clay soil, typical of the region, which provides an exceptional minerality and freshness in the wine. The temperate climate with warm summers and cool nights contributes to the development of complex aromas and a perfect acidity.

The Meursault Sous La Velle is vinified in French oak barrels, some of which are new, to add subtlety and complexity to the wine. The wine is then aged "sur lie" (on the lees) for 10-12 months, which gives it a rich texture and added depth.

Color: Bright gold with a subtle green sheen.
Nose: Elegant aromas of ripe citrus fruits, such as lemon and mandarin, together with notes of white flowers, peach, toasted almond and a delicate hint of vanilla.
Taste: Full and silky, with a perfect balance between fresh acidity and rich texture. The flavors of ripe fruit, buttery notes and subtle minerality make for a harmonious wine with depth.
Finish: Long and refined, with a refreshing minerality typical of Meursault.

Arnaud Baillot's Meursault Sous La Velle goes perfectly with:
- Rich fish dishes such as fried turbot or halibut.
- Lobster or other fancy shellfish with buttery sauces.
- Poultry, such as chicken with cream sauce or turkey.
- Matured cheeses such as Comté or a creamy brie.
