Le Grappin Meursault Sous La Velle 2020 750ml

Our idea for Le Grappin is to work with underappreciated plots of vines across Burgundy, that tell interesting stories.

A 55-year-old parcel of vines with small-berries clusters, selected to ripen early. The vineyard is on a gentle slope below the village with clay-limestone marl of 50-70cm depth over gravelly limestone bedrock. The clay giving the wine its depth and creaminess, the limestone gravel its freshness and frisson. Unfined, lightly filtered after an elevage of 18 months.
