With our easy-to-use platform, you can order this exquisite wine from the comfort of your own home and have it delivered straight to your door.

The Meursault les Cras has a more Puligny-like bouquet with limestone and flinty notes infusing the citrus fruit -- real sophistication, nudging premier cru quality. It takes some aeration to really express itself, however, so afford it some bottle age and decanting. The palate is finely balanced with a keen thread of acidity, and it boasts a very composed, tensile finish that demonstrates impressive persistence. This has great potential.
The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Cras is broad and layered, mingling aromas of confit lemon, citrus zest and apricot with hints of white flowers and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's a rich, expansive wine, concluding with a long, saline finish.

The wines are organic and the vines plowed on horseback without using any weed killer. A small Burgundian-style estate that signs “haute couture” cuvées from plots located on exceptional terroirs.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
