Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Light and airy, yet with no shortage of intensity or length, offering toast, iodine, oyster shell, lime blossom and citrus aromas and flavors that make this enticing.

• Wine Enthusiast: Notes of smoke, toast and dill introduce this broad-shouldered Chardonnay. Matured in 15% to 20% French oak, it has piercing lemon and tangerine flavors layered in smoky, savory oak accents but maintains a vitality and freshness throughout. The wine needs time to meld but should approach peak from 2024 and improve through 2035.

Producer Information

Xavier Monnot is a leading producer in Meursault whose winemaking style emphasizes purity of fruit, elegance, and complexity. Xavier can trace his mother’s ancestors, the Monniers, back to 1723, with six generations of winegrowing. Xavier took over in 1994 after completing his oenological studies and began replanting parcels with a combination of selection massale from old vines and new clones, and updated the cellar with modern equipment. Prior to the release of the 2005 vintage, the property was known as Domaine René Monnier (Xavier’s grandfather). In 2005, along with improvements in the vineyard and cellar, Xavier began bottling his wines under his own label.
