White Wine Domaine Chapelle de Blagny- Mersault 1 er Cru "Les Ravelles " 2022

This is a tiny 1er Cru vineyard of only 1.2 hectares, surely one of Meursault s best-kept secrets. The average vine age is 60 years from this cool higher site. A very judicious use of oak with a mix of 1 to 4 year old barrels (no new oak). A detailed & finely nuanced Chardonnay & a very citrus driven expression of Meursault. Terrific energy, persistence & length. Les Ravelles is the furthest Premier Cru from the village itself, adjacent to the hamlet of Blagny and tucked up above the Puligny border. This is perhaps the reason for the dramatic and unique stance of this delicious wine.
