The 2023 Domaine Ballot-Millot Meursault Les Criots is a beautifully expressive white Burgundy crafted from Chardonnay grown in the highly regarded Les Criots vineyard in Meursault. Showcasing the hallmark richness and elegance of the appellation, it offers remarkable balance, purity and finesse. The nose is refined and aromatic, revealing aromas of white peach, pear and lemon zest, complemented by notes of citrus blossom, toasted hazelnut, brioche and subtle French oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully creamy, textured mouthfeel, delivering flavours of ripe stone fruit, grapefruit and lemon curd layered with hints of roasted almond, delicate oak spice and fine mineral complexity. The finish is long, elegant and beautifully balanced, combining richness with freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Meursault for lovers of fine Chardonnay seeking elegance, complexity and authentic Burgundy character. Enjoy after a short decant or cellar confidently over the next 8–12 years. Ideal with lobster, scallops, roast chicken, creamy mushroom dishes or mature Comté cheese.
