The region’s slightly warmer climate compared to the Côte de Beaune allows Chardonnay to achieve generous ripeness while maintaining freshness and mineral balance. The advanced vine age contributes additional concentration and depth, producing a wine with both richness and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"556\" data-end=\"1009\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"556\" data-end=\"588\"\u003eWinemaking \u0026amp; Technical Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"588\" data-end=\"591\"\u003eCrafted with a Burgundian approach focused on vineyard expression, the fruit is carefully pressed and fermented with attention to preserving purity and texture. Aging takes place in a combination of stainless steel and oak, allowing the wine to gain complexity and structure without excessive wood influence. The style emphasizes balance, minerality, and layered fruit expression while remaining approachable in youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1028\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1031\"\u003ePale gold in the glass, the 2022 opens with aromas of ripe pear, golden apple, lemon curd, and white flowers layered with subtle notes of hazelnut, fresh cream, and wet stone. The palate is rounded yet energetic, delivering orchard and citrus fruit balanced by bright acidity and a gentle mineral backbone. Hints of almond, brioche, and chalky minerality emerge through the mid-palate, leading to a long, polished finish with excellent freshness and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1833\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1517\"\u003eFood Pairing \u0026amp; Service\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1520\"\u003eA versatile white Burgundy, this wine pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled seafood, creamy pasta dishes, and soft-ripened cheeses. It also complements shellfish and lighter poultry preparations with buttery or herb-driven sauces. Serve lightly chilled to highlight both its freshness and layered texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1835\" data-end=\"2135\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1835\" data-end=\"1858\"\u003eCellaring Potential\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1858\" data-end=\"1861\"\u003eWhile highly expressive in its youth, this wine will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 5–8 years. With time, its bright fruit profile will deepen into more complex notes of honey, toasted nuts, and savory mineral character while maintaining its balance and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pierre Meurgey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46195671924932,"sku":"APB301515","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/8635\/9236\/files\/Meurgey-CrosesVire-ClesseVieillesVignes2022750ml.jpg?v=1780609087","url":"https:\/\/www.prismfinewine.com\/products\/meurgey-croses-vire-clesse-vieilles-vignes-2022-750ml","provider":"Prism Fine Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
