Xavier Monnot's Meursault Le Limozin is a vibrant and elegant white Burgundy from a lieu-dit known to perform above its "village" level status, with the 2020 vintage offering remarkable vitality, freshness, and aromatic clarity. Xavier Monnot is a leading Meursault producer, emphasizing purity of fruit, elegance, and complexity, with his Le Limozin vineyard (planted in 1961 and 1976) situated just below the Premier Cru Les Genevrieres. The 2020 Burgundy white vintage is celebrated for its exceptional balance, freshness, and aromatic clarity, with wines that are fluid, structural, detailed, and overtly mineral. Monnot's Meursaults are aged 12-14 months in 15-20% new French oak, undergoing full malolactic fermentation and batonage. Expect aromas and flavors typical of Meursault: ripe melon, hazelnut, and lemon custard, with notes of toast and vanilla from oak aging. The 2020 Le Limozin specifically offers a vibrant style with apple, white peach, stone notes, vivid acidity, and an aftertaste of lemon and spice. Other vintages show fresh Korean pear, bergamot, hay, wet stone, rose, lime blossom, citronella, sweet corn, pastry, and a lingering hazelnut aftertaste.
