2023 Christian Bellang & Fils Meursault, Cote de Beaune, France
$80.00
Drawn from clay-limestone parcels around the village, this Chardonnay is pressed as whole clusters and fermented cool to keep the line taut, then raised about a year on fine lees in mostly used barrels with a light touch of new oak. Full malolactic and a quiet élevage bring texture without heaviness, so the 2023 reads classically Meursault—ripe pear and lemon oil with white flowers, a gentle hazelnut echo, and a clean, chalk-saline finish that feels precise rather than plush.
