Meursault 1er Cru Les Cras Domaine Colin Philippe, 2024

Meursault 1er Cru Les Cras from Domaine Colin Philippe is a refined expression of one of Burgundy’s most admired white-wine appellations. Sourced from a prized Premier Cru site in Meursault, it combines depth, mineral precision, and classic Côte de Beaune elegance, making it a compelling bottle for lovers of fine Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
Expect a bright, polished wine with a golden hue and excellent clarity. The nose typically leans toward white flowers, citrus zest, ripe orchard fruit, and subtle notes of hazelnut, butter, and crushed stone, reflecting both the site and the style of Meursault. On the palate, it should show a generous yet focused texture, with layers of pear, lemon curd, toasted almond, and a finely mineral backbone. Balanced acidity gives freshness and lift, while the Premier Cru pedigree suggests strong aging potential, with the wine likely gaining complexity over several years in bottle.

Production
Les Cras is a well-regarded Premier Cru site in Meursault, known for its limestone-rich soils that help preserve freshness and shape the wine’s distinctive mineral character. Domaine Colin Philippe works within the traditions of Burgundy, where careful harvesting and restrained cellar work are essential to preserving vineyard expression. Vinification is typically aimed at maintaining purity, texture, and balance, allowing the nuances of the terroir to shine through.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with rich seafood dishes such as lobster, scallops, turbot, or Dover sole, as well as roast chicken, veal in cream sauce, and aged hard cheeses. Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Decanting is optional but can be helpful if opened young, especially to allow the wine’s aromatics and texture to fully unfold.
