2022 Louis Billard Meursault

With the 2022 vintage, Louis Billard becomes the 5th generation of his family to craft wine, but the first to do so outside of the family domaine. With his impressive C.V. full of stints at DRC, Roumier and By Farr, Louis' name will swiftly carry buzz around the slopes of Burgundy.

For the white wines, the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in barrels on fine lees, with an aim to find a balance between the textural potential and the freshness of Chardonnay. Regarding the red wines, Louis incorporates a large proportion of whole bunch, between 50-100%, to gain complexity, purity, and lift with his diverse range of reds across the Cote-d’Or. 

With the release of his first vintage in 2022, he has already put together an impressive set of cuvees and his finesse as a winemaker shines through the whole portfolio top to bottom.
