Of good concentration, underlined by a luxurious maturation, the 2021 white Meursault Vieilles Vignes has a rich and charming style. The toasted, vanilla notes accompany a seductive wine flesh, with a lot of frankness and precision. This is a well-proportioned Meursault from old vines, with density without excess. Take your time; the aging will do its work and stretch the wine; it has the stature to last at least 5 years and much more.Vinification:

From now until 2028, and even more for enthusiasts.A new and remarkable entry into the world of great Burgundies! The Domaine Guy Bocard has touched the heart of our Selection Committee. Firmly anchored in the Meursault terroir, Guy Bocard is one of those historic addresses that have been able to embrace modernity and enlist the services of the most sought-after technicians. The arrival of oenologist Philippe Pacalet marks the comeback of this historic address, which is still confidential and spread over 5 hectares in Meursault. A gem that will quickly become the talk of the town!
