Paul Gayot, Meursault Les Malpoiriers 2024 White

Paul Gayot’s Meursault Les Malpoiriers 2024 is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay that combines generous texture with refreshing precision. It captures the classic Meursault style through expressive fruit, subtle toasted notes and a mineral finish, making it an elegant choice for both immediate enjoyment and short-term cellaring.

Tasting Notes
Bright golden in appearance, this Meursault opens with inviting aromas of toasted almonds, fresh butter and white fruit, recalling ripe peach and juicy pear. On the palate, its rich, silky texture is balanced by lively acidity and delicate mineral tones, creating depth without heaviness. The finish is polished and persistent, with a harmonious interplay of fruit, oak and freshness. This is an approachable vintage in its youth, but its structure and careful élevage should allow it to develop additional complexity over the next several years. With time in bottle, the fruit may become more nuanced while the buttery and mineral characteristics gain further integration.

Production
Produced from Chardonnay in Meursault, in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, the wine benefits from the region’s limestone-rich soils and classic continental climate. The whole bunches are pneumatically pressed, followed by 24 hours of cold settling. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks, while malolactic fermentation occurs in barrels. The wine is then aged for 9 to 12 months in 228-litre barrels, 20% of which are new, adding gentle toasted complexity while preserving freshness and minerality.

Food & Serving
A versatile food wine, this Meursault pairs beautifully with grilled or poached fish, shellfish, roast chicken and other white meats. It is also a natural match for fresh pasta with creamy or buttery sauces and mature cheeses. Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Decanting is not essential for a young vintage, although 20–30 minutes of gentle aeration in a carafe can help reveal its aromatic depth.
