The 2020 Armand Heitz Meursault Vireuils is a refined and expressive white Burgundy sourced from the higher-altitude Les Vireuils vineyard in Meursault, an area known for producing wines with freshness and mineral tension. The 2020 vintage combines ripe fruit concentration with vibrant acidity, opening with aromas of white peach, citrus blossom and lemon curd alongside subtle hazelnut, wet stone and lightly toasted oak notes.
On the palate, it is textured yet precise, with a smooth, layered mouthfeel balanced by bright acidity and a long mineral-driven finish. Flavours of ripe citrus, nectarine and gentle pastry notes are supported by restrained oak maturation, allowing the vineyard’s cool, limestone-influenced character to remain clear and focused. The wine shows both richness and energy, with excellent balance throughout.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Meursault for Chardonnay enthusiasts seeking a more focused and mineral style with depth and ageing potential. Drinking beautifully now with decanting, though it will continue to evolve over the next 6–10 years. Ideal with roast chicken, grilled lobster, creamy seafood dishes or Comté cheese.
