About the wine:

Xavier Monnot is a leading producer in Meursault whose winemaking style emphasizes the purity of fruit, elegance, and complexity. Before the release of the 2005 vintage, the property was known as Domaine René Monnier (Xavier's grandfather). In 2005, along with improvements in the vineyard and cellar, Xavier began bottling his wines under his label.

Domaine Xavier Monnot is a 17-hectare estate in Meursault with vineyards stretching from Beaune to Maranges. 60% of the Domaine's production is white and 40% red with several premier crus in Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Volnay, and Maranges. Xavier believes in maintaining an average vine age of 30 to 40 years and practices lutte raisonnée.



Ratings & Reviews:

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"This wine embraces orchard and citrus fruit, built with tension and acidity that keeps the palate engaged and energized. It’s linear and bright, has a saline-limestone finish, and a light lactic edge. Let it aerate or cellar for a year or two before revisiting. It should pair well with grilled octopus or pulled pork."

90-92 Points - Vinous Media:
"The 2023 Meursault Les Chevalières has a nicely detailed bouquet, with fine mineralité and a touch of sea spray coming through with time. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, a little more tension than the Le Limozin and a dash of white pepper toward the finish. Fine."

91 Points - Jasper Morris:
"Slightly more floral on a white fruit base. Lovely stylish, really fine-boned, very persistent, fresh acidity, gentle and gracious. Drink from 2027-2032."

91 Points - Wine Spectator:
"Sleek and toasty, exhibiting vanilla, peach, apple and smoke flavors. Delivers fine midpalate intensity and a racy profile. Shows excellent length, revealing an underlying mineral accent."
