The 2023 Domaine Henri Germain Meursault is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay from Meursault in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, produced from a blend of mature vineyard parcels including Les Vireuils, Clos du Cromin, Les Pellans, Dressoles and Moulin Judas. Fermented and aged in French oak with only 20–25% new barrels and no lees stirring, it showcases the purity and precision that define Domaine Henri Germain. The nose reveals aromas of white peach, ripe pear and lemon zest, complemented by white flowers, toasted hazelnut and a refined mineral lift.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and a silky, layered texture. Flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and ripe stone fruit are framed by chalky minerality and subtle oak, leading to a long, elegant finish. Extended barrel ageing brings depth and complexity while preserving the freshness and balance that make this a classic expression of Meursault.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who appreciate classic Meursault with richness, finesse and mineral precision. Pair it with grilled lobster, scallops, roast chicken with a cream sauce, turbot or aged Comté. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar for the next 10–15 years as it develops additional complexity and texture.
