Louis Billard Meursault 2023
Tasting Notes
Classic Meursault aromatics emerge right away: warm hazelnut, golden apple, pear skin, and a gentle hint of cream. But the 2023 vintage gives this wine a lifted, mineral-driven profile — think ripe orchard fruit framed by citrus zest and cool stone. The palate is generous without being heavy, with a supple mid-texture and a beautifully balanced line of acidity. Oak is subtle and integrated, lending quiet shape rather than overt toast, and the finish is mouthwatering, clean, and persistent.

Why It’s Special

• This is Meursault with elegance and restraint — not the heavy, broad style many associate with the village. The fruit is picked for tension and clarity, allowing freshness to carry the wine.

• Louis Billard’s organic farming and careful canopy management promote natural ripeness and concentration without over-extraction.

• Texturally, it’s just right: polished and silky, but not buttery; expressive, but not loud.

• For customers who love Meursault but want purity over richness, this is a direct hit — and priced meaningfully below many of its neighbors.

• Drink now for its vivid aromatics and finesse, or allow 3–6 years for the wine to deepen and gain savory complexity.

About the Producer
Domaine Louis Billard is a small, focused producer working with parcels in the Hautes-Côtes and the Côte de Beaune, including Saint-Aubin and Meursault. Farming is organic, harvests are done by hand, and cellar work is guided by subtlety — native yeast fermentations, gentle pressing, and élevage in mostly neutral barrels. The estate’s style emphasizes clarity and precision, producing wines that speak fluently of their villages without ornament or manipulation. Their Meursault captures exactly that philosophy: authentic, expressive, and quietly refined.
