THE WINE
This plot takes its name from the trail that borders it and used to circumnavigate the village of Meursault. The vineyard benefits from an east-facing exposure and is situated on the western slope above the village. Planted in 1957, this 0.53-hectare Chardonnay plot is located in the “Vireuils Dessous.” The soil, composed of white marls, also contains a high proportion of limestone, which is characteristic of Meursault and perfectly suited for expressing the Chardonnay grape.
The aroma is more discreet and delicate than that of other Meursault vineyards, but it is also purer and more characterized by limestone. It offers a delicate and precise olfactory experience, with hints of citrus and mineral notes. The palate embodies the essence of Meursault: it has a semi-fat texture with a well-defined acidity, making the wine lively and leaving the palate fresh and invigorated. It pairs perfectly with delicate fish or salted shellfish, making it an ideal complement.
