Ratings and Tasting Notes:

The « Clos des Meix Chavaux » is the largest single-owned vineyard in Meursault of just under 3.5 hectares in total. At 250m altitude, the soil is deeper, therefore allowing the vines to descend further and giving the wine an opulent and aromatic style.

From Vivino:

4.0 - Terrific yet super underrated. One of my go-to Meursaults (and Pommard). An excellent choice if you’re seeking purely terroir-driven wines. Burgnut 91pts - *Burgnut* (4056 ratings)Aug 22, 2020

4.0 - Tried in Mar 2021, a score of 92-93/100. Subtle touch of oak, vanilla, popcorn, butter, yogurt, pineapple, guava, peach, apricot, pear, golden apple, hazelnut. Medium-straw and green in color, medium+ to full-bodied, high acidity. - Wonjong Lee (400 ratings)Mar 12, 2021

5.0 - Perfect Burgundy blanc. Light amber colored, weak walnut and almond butter, pineapple flavor, its texture is fine and gives a long soft finish. Well cellared, well balanced, this is a faultless bottle. It doesn't need breeding, just be careful temp. Perfect - Haebum Park (217 ratings)Jun 5, 2020

4/26/2020 - JEAGLE LIKES THIS WINE: 94 Points - PnP but the wine improved over the hour it was open. The light colour belied a soft, pillowy push across the palate while the flavours impressed in elegant understatement.

8/16/2019 - KUESE WROTE: 94 Points - Lovely

7/28/2018 - CHARLEMAGNEFINEWINES LIKES THIS WINE: 94 Points - Generous mid-palate, extraordinary fruit, dried apricot, delicate honied notes with some marmalade, burned almond..There is a great structure and a backbone to this wine. It will do better and better with some time. Lush.
