Meursault Cuvée Goureau
Albert Bichot’s view
Attractive light yellow color. Fresh, lively nose typical of the area, with citrus and quince notes. Lovely complexity and opulence on the palate. A charming wine.
Food pairings
A perfect aperitif companion, it will add charm to a fine smoked salmon, fish soup or poultry with cream sauce.
The majority of the cuvée is made from the "Les Peutes Vignes" climat, backed by the 1ers crus Santenots du milieu and Criots (cuvée Loppin). A few rows of Grands Charrons (too few to make a dedicated cuvée) complete the blend. The soil is stony, gently sloping and fairly rich in clay. The wines draw strength from it, and are generally concentrated and harmonious.

During this important period, thanks to meticulous work and the blending of a variety of barrels, we further develop its complexity and potential.The Domaine des Hospices de Beaune has been certified organic since the 2024 harvest, and we naturally age your wine in our Albert Bichot cellars in line with this environmentally-friendly philosophy.
History of the cuvée
