MEURSAULT
A few words on the appellation...
Appellation Village de la Côte de Beaune, Meursault is famed for its bold,
balanced whites; it produces very little red. At an altitude of about 260 metres, its vines planted on calcareous marl soils produce great wines.
100% Chardonnay
After being harvested by hand, the grapes are destalked and then pressed ready for vinification in new 500-litre oak barrels. The wines are then aged for 6 to 12 months in barrels that have seen two previous vintages.
Their gold-green or polished bronze robes, depending on age, are clear
and bright. Their bouquet evokes almonds and toasted hazelnuts with plant, floral and mineral (flint) notes. Butter, honey and citrus also find full expression in these fine wines. On the palate, a rich, full-bodied wine with a hazelnut flavour. This Meusault offers a good balance between creaminess and freshness. Long and structured, it needs to be matured.
This wine is ideal with noble meats such as pieces of veal or poultry in
white sauce and with fine fish. It is even better with grilled shellfish or
shellfish in sauce, such as prawns, lobster or crayfish. Even blue cheeses
and foie gras adopt it the first time they meet.
Serve at a temperature of 12° to 14°C. A great white wine for keeping.

JEAN-LUC AEGERTER AND PAUL AEGERTER
The Aegerters, a father and son team, are creators and developers. They did not inherit an estate; they built it together, each contributing his own knowledge and aspirations. United by the same passion for nature in general and vines in particular, Jean-Luc the pioneer and Paul the visionary freely chose this profession. They began a shared story, developed their knowledge and allowed their ideas to mature. Paul, now the sole head of the family company, is continuing this family adventure and starting a new chapter: one about a flourishing business.
30 YEARS OF CREATION IN A BOTTLE
The Maison Aegerter, located in Nuit-Saint-Georges, Côte-d’Or, is thriving in a region known for both its traditions and its innovations.
The Aegerters believe that nature cannot be hurried. It must be listened to and pampered. All the vintages, from the most accessible to the most exceptional, have one thing in common: they are the outcome of a resolutely modern vision and dynamic. The best of Burgundy’s terroirs is well worth it. These passionate people are daring enough to leave the beaten track and offer all consumers, beginners and experts alike, carefully picked selections, new blends and different bottles.
