The nose is nuanced and expressive, offering white flowers, ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel, hazelnut, and a subtle mineral edge, with the vintage bringing extra concentration and energy.\n\nOn the palate, expect a layered Meursault profile: generous yet poised, with notes of pear, lemon curd, stone fruit, toasted almond, and a fine chalky tension that keeps everything in balance. The wine should age beautifully, gaining depth, savouriness, and complexity over the next several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLa Pièce Sous Le Bois is a premier cru vineyard in Meursault, where limestone-rich soils and a cooler, well-exposed site help shape wines of both texture and freshness.
