A sleek and balanced white, whose texture borders on creamy and is offset by vibrant acidity. Peach, hazelnut, lemon curd, stone and toasty oak flavors build nicely on the palate to the long, expansive aftertaste. Drink now through 2038

"The 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Ane is showing well, offering up notes of ear, peach, green apple and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, fine-boned and delicate palate that emphasizes purity and brightness."
— William Kelley, 2026
