Domaine Lucien Muzard Meursault Les Meix Chavaux 2024

Product Description:
Domaine Lucien Muzard Meursault Les Meix Chavaux 2024 is a village-level white Burgundy produced from a distinguished named vineyard within the Meursault appellation. Domaine Lucien Muzard & Fils is based in Santenay and can trace its winegrowing history to 1645, when a Muzard vigneron was recorded in a grape-purchase document. Today, the family cultivates approximately 18 hectares across Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, Maranges and Meursault. Les Meix Chavaux occupies a cool, stony position on the Meursault slope, where limestone plays an important role in the character of the wine. The domaine’s approximately 0.75-hectare parcel has a south-easterly exposure and limestone-clay soils with a predominantly limestone base. Its vines were planted in several stages, including old vines dating from 1935 and additional plantings from 1988 and 2001. 

The Chardonnay grapes are harvested by hand and slowly pressed to preserve the purity and delicacy of the juice. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, while malolactic fermentation is completed during winter in the domaine’s underground cellars. Maturation in 350-litre oak barrels is intended to provide texture and complexity without obscuring the mineral identity of the vineyard. The 2024 vintage reveals ripe lemon, fresh pear, white flowers and raw hazelnut, accompanied by subtle chalky, buttery and brioche-like nuances. Its palate is precise and energetic, combining a delicately creamy texture with vibrant acidity and measured Meursault richness. The wine remains finely balanced through a long, saline finish marked by citrus and wet-stone minerality. Elegant rather than overtly opulent, it offers a composed interpretation of Meursault shaped by freshness, tension and restrained oak. It is particularly well suited to scallops, shellfish, roasted fish, poultry in a cream sauce, mushroom risotto and mature Comté.
