Terroir

VINE AGE: 50 years (old vines).

LOCATION: Domaine Maillard cultivates vines located on the northern border of the appellation, in close proximity to the commune of Volnay (a sector adjacent to their Volnay "Les Combes" plot).

EXPOSURE: East / South-East.

TERROIR : Deep clay-limestone soils. The presence of clay is more pronounced here than on the upper slopes, providing the wine with its rich texture and full-bodied mouthfeel. In the subsoil, we find the JURASSIC limestone bedrock, which imparts a certain mineral tension to the juice.
Rich in stony sediments, these soils also promote excellent drainage, essential for the concentration of the Chardonnay's aromas.

Viticulture & Winemaking

HARVEST: Manual.

YIELD: N/A.

SORTING: In the vineyard.

WINEMAKING: Gentle, low-pressure pressing of the grapes. The juice flows into vats for a few hours of settling (débourbage). It is then racked into 228-liter barrels for alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, followed by aging.

AGING: 12 months in 228-liter barrels (including a small proportion of new oak), with fine lees stirring (bâtonnage) to bring out the richness and creaminess that are emblematic characteristics of Meursault.

BOTTLING: Bottled after fining and filtration.

CLOSURE: Natural cork.

Sommelier's Note

"This small, limited-production cuvée perfectly illustrates Domaine Maillard's expertise in white wines: lemon, mandarin, verbena, a slight hint of anise and toasted notes, all wrapped in a vibrant, fresh, and savory texture. It is superb and perfectly balanced!"
