2019 Domaine Bernard Millot Meursault Les Vireuils France


GW says:  From the breezy slopes above Meursault, Les Vireuils is a high-altitude take on classic Chardonnay - more zip, less fat. Crafted by Bernard Millot, Meursault’s low-key master, this 2019 is like mountain air in a glass: pure, focused, and quietly thrilling. Think citrus zest, toasted almond, and a streak of flinty minerality. It’s leaner than your typical village Meursault, with energy and tension taking the lead over richness. Flint, fruit, finesse—this is Chardonnay for people who like their white Burgundy with brains and a little bite

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

Appearance: Pale lemon with a greenish glint—like spring sunlight in a glass.

Aroma: Lemon peel, white flowers, crushed stone, and a hint of hazelnut shell.

Palate: Taut and vibrant, with citrus precision, saline minerality, and just enough flesh to keep it friendly.
