Bader-Mimeur, Meursault Le Limozin 2023 White

Bader-Mimeur Meursault Le Limozin 2023 is an elegant white Burgundy from a family domaine situated at the foot of the renowned Montrachet vineyards. Made from Chardonnay and raised in French oak without the use of new barrels, it combines Meursault’s characteristic richness with a fresh, mineral edge. The domaine has been in the family for five generations and has deep roots in Chassagne-Montrachet dating back to the 17th century.

Tasting Notes
Bright straw-yellow in appearance, the wine offers an expressive nose of ripe citrus, orchard fruit and subtle floral tones, complemented by gently integrated notes of toasted oak and cream. On the palate, it is rounded and textural, with flavours of lemon, pear and white peach supported by fine mineral freshness and a balanced finish. The careful élevage on fine lees lends the wine additional depth and a silky mouthfeel, while the absence of new oak keeps the fruit and terroir in focus. It is approachable in its youth, but should develop greater nuance and complexity over approximately five to eight years when well stored.

Production
The grapes are harvested from the Meursault Le Limozin site, where Burgundy’s limestone-rich soils contribute freshness and mineral character. Whole bunches are gently pressed in a pneumatic press, after which the must is clarified at low temperature. Within 24 hours, it is transferred by gravity into French oak barrels, where the entire alcoholic fermentation takes place. The wine is then matured for 10 months in French oak without new barrels, with regular bâtonnage of the fine lees to build texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
A versatile partner for classic Burgundy-friendly dishes, this Meursault pairs particularly well with roast chicken, veal in a light cream sauce, grilled or poached fish, shellfish, and dishes featuring mushrooms or delicate cheeses. Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Decanting is not essential for the young 2023 vintage, though 20–30 minutes of gentle aeration can help reveal its aromatic detail and texture.

Producer
Bader-Mimeur is a historic family domaine located near the celebrated vineyards of Montrachet. The family’s connection to the area stretches back to the 17th century, when the Bader-Nié family owned vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet and the surrounding villages. In 1919, Charles Mimeur, a winegrower from the Maranges area, acquired Château de Chassagne-Montrachet. Since 2017, siblings Nathalie Bernard and Sébastien Fossier have guided the domaine’s day-to-day work, continuing its longstanding focus on precise, terroir-driven Burgundy.
