Bertrand de Monceny Meursault Blanc La Barre 2023

Bertrand de Monceny Meursault Blanc La Barre 2023 captures everything lovers of modern Meursault seek: precision, energy, and understated luxury. From a classic limestone-and-clay site just outside the village, this Chardonnay reflects both the character of the terroir and the careful, nature-respectful approach of Domaine Bertrand de Monceny.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, refined pale gold hue. The nose opens with white flowers, pear, citrus, and a subtle hint of toasted almonds, leading into a palate that is elegant and focused, with ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and a chalky mineral line that brings definition and length. The finish is clean and persistent, with discreet notes of butter and vanilla from élevage in oak. It already offers plenty of charm, but with its structure and balance, it also has the potential to develop beautifully over the next several years.

Production
La Barre is a well-situated Meursault vineyard on limestone and clay soils, where cool winds and excellent drainage help preserve freshness and structure in the Chardonnay. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, then gently pressed before fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, only a small proportion of which are new. Lees ageing adds texture and complexity while keeping the wine poised and vibrant.

Food & Serving
This Meursault pairs wonderfully with rich but delicate dishes such as roasted chicken, lobster, scallops, beurre blanc sauces, creamy risotto, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at 10–12°C to allow the aromatics and texture to unfold; decanting is not essential, but a short aeration can help if opening young.

Producer

In Meursault, a village celebrated for some of Burgundy’s most admired white wines, the domaine stands out for combining classic craftsmanship with a modern sense of precision and finesse.
