2022 Armand Heitz Meursault "La Barre" is a classic village-level Meursault sourced from a central lieu-dit, known for producing wines with both generosity and balance. The nose is open and expressive, showing ripe pear, apple and citrus, layered with white flowers, almond and subtle honeyed notes, with a gentle touch of buttery richness typical of Meursault . Compared to more mineral Premier Cru sites, this is slightly more forward and approachable aromatically.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is exactly the kind of wine we position as a "classic Meursault village style" - generous, creamy and immediately appealing. Compared to Perrières (structured) or Blagny (mineral), La Barre is more accessible, round and charming, making it perfect for customers who want that signature Meursault richness without too much austerity. A great entry into serious Burgundy, ideal with lobster, roast chicken or creamy dishes, and best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years.
