Les Casses-Têtes contributes minerality and tension, while Les Murgers de Monthélie adds richness and length. The vineyards benefit from limestone and clay soils, providing excellent drainage and mineral richness. The microclimate, influenced by the elevation and exposure, contributes to the grapes’ balanced ripening and the wine’s complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested and undergo gentle pressing to preserve their quality. Fermentation occurs in oak barrels, with a portion of new oak used to impart subtle complexity. The wine is aged on its lees for several months, enhancing its texture and depth. This approach results in a wine that balances freshness with richness, embodying the character of Meursault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2021 Meursault Cuvée Tête de Murger exhibits a wonderful honeysuckle, floral, and fresh stone fruit bouquet.
