Aegerter Meursault Meix sous le Chateau 2016

Estate History

Maison Aegerter, founded in 1988 by Jean-Luc Aegerter and now managed by his son Paul, is known for producing terroir-driven wines from Burgundy’s most iconic appellations. The **Meursault “Meix sous le Château”** comes from a specific climat near the village, known for producing Chardonnays with both richness and freshness, true to the Meursault style.

Terroir

The vineyard **”Meix sous le Château”**, located below the historic château of Meursault, features clay-limestone soils that provide the perfect environment for Chardonnay to express balance, depth, and minerality. The 2016 vintage brought concentration and vibrant acidity, offering excellent harmony and aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Bright golden color with green reflections. The nose is elegant and expressive, revealing aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, pear, hazelnut, and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is round and creamy, with lively acidity, subtle oak influence, and a long, mineral-driven finish.

A refined and expressive Meursault — combining richness, freshness, and minerality with beautiful aromatic complexity and balance.

Pairing

Perfect with grilled lobster, scallops, creamy fish dishes, roasted poultry, or soft cheeses like Brie de Meaux and Chaource.
