Wine:
A true classic of the appellation, the Meursault Les Tillets Blanc 2022 is characterized by delicate aromas of white flowers and well-integrated light wood, along with a notable mineral presence. It's a powerful and straightforward Meursault, enhanced by a lively vitality and freshness, contrasting with some Meursaults that can be a bit heavy. It's worth discovering in two or three years, once it has opened up, and then to be enjoyed over a decade with dishes like poultry or monkfish in curry.Vinification:

Temperature:
Serve between 10 and 12°C in a large glass.Food and wine pairing:

From now until 2033 and beyond for enthusiasts.
The Domaine Alain Gras, the crowning jewel of Saint-Romain, has been thriving insolently through the decades. This flagship estate, which has elevated the appellation's presence on the menus of the finest Michelin-starred restaurants, passionately and fervently champions the wines of the Côte de Beaune, also owning vineyards in Meursault, Auxey-Duresses, and Pommard.
Today, the legacy is confidently carried on by Arthur Gras, the son of the house. Without a doubt, he will continue to produce straightforward, impeccably crafted, and immediately delightful wines, capable of standing toe-to-toe with the greatest terroirs of the Côte de Beaune.
