Domaine Parigot Meursault Les Vireuils Dessous 2023

Domaine Parigot Meursault Les Vireuils Dessous 2023 is a finely tuned expression of Meursault from a cool, elevated lieu-dit just north of the village, above Premier Cru Les Genevrières. Rather than the broader, richer style often associated with the southern part of Meursault, this site brings freshness, mineral drive, and a more precise, energetic Chardonnay profile.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a pale golden colour with youthful green reflections. The nose is elegant and focused, offering citrus, white flowers, green apple, and a distinct chalky, almost salty edge. On the palate, it is straight, tense, and finely structured, with lively acidity, pure fruit, and a long mineral finish. The 2023 vintage presents a Meursault built on finesse rather than volume, with excellent balance between depth and lift. Its taut structure suggests very good aging potential, allowing the wine to gain complexity and texture over the next several years.

Production
The vineyard lies on limestone-rich soils in a cooler exposed site, helping preserve freshness and aromatic clarity in the Chardonnay. Grapes are harvested by hand and pressed gently before fermentation in French oak barrels, with a modest share of new oak, typically around 15–20%, to add complexity without overwhelming the wine's character. The wine is then aged sur lie with light bâtonnage, which enhances texture and depth while keeping the style lifted and precise.

Food & Serving
This Meursault pairs beautifully with dishes such as roast chicken, seared scallops, lobster, turbot, creamy risotto, or mushroom-based cuisine. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C to highlight its freshness and mineral detail. Decanting is not essential, but a short aeration can help open the wine if enjoyed young.
