Meursault Les Chevalieres 2022 Domaine Xavier Monnot

Professional reviews

Vinous (92)

The 2022 Meursault Les Chevalières is matured in 25% new oak 350-liter barrels in order to reduce the wood impact. It is taut and focused on the nose, quite understated at first, with touches of almond and hazelnut. The palate is well-balanced, with impressive concentration on the entry. Quite spicy on the mid-palate with tangy marmalade and ginger, this fans out in a pleasing fashion towards the finish.

Fresh pale lemon. The bouquet is about elegance and finesse rather than weight. Fresh fruit on the palate, citrus and apple, white fruit behind, balanced and very long. Very Chevalières in style, even if unlike the Meursaults of yesteryear. All good, because this a substantial cuvee of 50+ barrels.
