Meursault « les Tillets » -
From Côte de Beaune this wine is from the same soil as «Narvaux» both benefiting from the same qualities; however, the difference between the two «Tillets» is south facing and therefore profiting in more sunlight. This vineyard used to have lime-trees (called Tille Tillet Or) growing around the outskirts which in the medeival times were used for creating medicines. This soil gives us a wine that shows off the wonderful characteristics of a typical Meursault - the subtle yet powerful aromas staying loyal to its name.
