The Meursault vineyard les Chevaliers is characterized by rather cool and elegant wines, a style that one would expect more in Chassagne-Montrachet than in Meursault. This wine by Xavier Monnot has a noble wood influence that complements the aromas, but does not dominate them, on the palate it has bite and length, but is always fresh despite its fullness. Can be aged for a long time.
