2023 Domaine Xavier Monnot Meursault Les Chevalieres

The 2023 Domaine Xavier Monnot Meursault Les Chevalières is a beautifully precise Chardonnay from one of Meursault’s most highly regarded vineyard sites. Located on the upper slopes of the appellation, Les Chevalières is known for producing wines with exceptional freshness and mineral definition, offering a more focused and elegant expression of Meursault while retaining the texture and depth for which the village is famous.

The nose is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of lemon zest, white peach and ripe pear alongside notes of white flowers, crushed stone and subtle hazelnut. On the palate, it is finely balanced, with vibrant acidity, a silky texture and layered flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate brioche. A strong mineral backbone carries through the wine, leading to a long, focused and elegant finish.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay lovers seeking a refined, mineral-driven Meursault with outstanding balance and precision. Its freshness and complexity make it a superb match for oysters, scallops, lobster, roast chicken or creamy seafood dishes. Enjoy now with some time in the glass, or cellar over the next 8–12 years as additional depth and complexity develop.
