Dom. Chantal Lescure Meursault Les Pellands 2023, bts 75 cl

Domaine Chantal Lescure – Meursault 'Les Pellands' 2023

The "Gourmet" Meursault with High-Tension Energy

In 2026, the 2023 'Les Pellands' is celebrated as a standout white in the Chantal Lescure portfolio. While the estate is historically revered for its reds, this Meursault has become a "insider's secret" under the new era of Eric Rousseau. The 2023 vintage perfectly captures the "Meursault richness" while maintaining a vibrating, crystalline acidity that keeps the wine remarkably fresh.

The Terroir: Under the Charmes

• The Location: This tiny 0.25-hectare parcel is located in the southern plain of Meursault, sitting directly below the prestigious Premier Cru 'Charmes Dessous'.

• The Soil: A unique mix of clay, sand, and limestone gravel. This specific composition allows the roots to access deep moisture, which in 2023 resulted in an opulent texture balanced by a distinct "stony" energy.

🍷 2023 Tasting Notes (2026 Status)

Early tastings in 2026 reveal a wine that is both indulgent and incredibly precise.

• The Nose: Highly aromatic and "exotic." It leads with ripe pineapple, white peach, and hawthorn, followed by the classic Meursault notes of fresh butter, toasted hazelnut, and wet stones.

• The Palate: Round and "juicy" but with a tonic, straight-line acidity. In 2026, the wine shows a beautiful balance between its "fleshy" fruit and a tense, mineral spine.

• The Finish: Long and "saline." The finish is clean and persistent, with a lingering hint of citrus curd and sea salt.

📋 Technical Snapshot

Best Paired With:

• The Gastronomic Match: Seared Scallops or a creamy poultry dish with morels.

• The Seafood Pair: Roasted Trout or Salmon; the wine’s richness matches the fatty fish while its acidity acts as a "citrus" lift.

• The Cheese: Soft, bloomy-rind cheeses like Brie de Meaux or a young, creamy Epoisses.

Pro Tip: In 2026, 'Les Pellands' is a "generous" wine. To ensure it doesn't feel too heavy, serve it at 11–13°C. It does not strictly require decanting, but giving it 20 minutes of air in a large Burgundy glass will help the "hazelnut and pineapple" aromatics reach their full potential.
