They are defined by elegance, silkiness and stunning subtle fruit.

The “Les Lameroses” climat is located in the north part of Meursault, meters away from the 1er cru “Les Santenots”. The plot is 1.5 hectares of vineyard on rich marl soils. The wines embody great balance, with a subtle nose of earthiness, a very expressive cherry and delicate rose petal notes. This wine is meduim bodied, demonstrating a remarkable elegance and is great when it’s young or cellared for two to three years. It opens up quickly on the nose and it does not need to be decanted. It goes very well with roast chicken, crispy pork belly, pork roast or rabbit terrine. his Bourgogne Pinot Noir Lameroses is silky, fruity with a subtle nose of earthiness.
