Dom. Faiveley Meursault Blanc 2024

Domaine Faiveley Meursault Blanc 2024

The Voluptuous Classic – Textural Opulence, Hazelnut Depth, and Vibrant Stone Energy

The 2024 Domaine Faiveley Meursault stands as a textbook example of one of the world's most famous white wine villages. Sourced from exceptional parcel selections across the classic hillside terroirs of Meursault—flanking the border toward Puligny-Montrachet—this bottling effortlessly captures the iconic "Meursault style," balancing deep, rich, and nutty textures with a lively vein of limestone energy.

The 2024 vintage required careful dedication in the vineyard. Following a tricky, wet spring, a warm and steady late summer provided ideal conditions for slow, even ripening. In Meursault’s clay-rich limestone plots, this extended hanging time allowed the Chardonnay skins to develop incredible flavor concentration and rich extract, while the cool continental nights preserved the underlying fresh acidity needed to keep this luxurious wine perfectly balanced.

🍷 Tasting Notes (2026 Perspective)

The 2024 vintage is currently revealing a gorgeous, open, and incredibly inviting aromatic profile, showcasing Meursault’s hallmark luxurious weight.

• The Nose: Indulgent, Nutty, and Aromatic. It hits the glass with an attractive bouquet of ripe yellow fruits, lemon curd, and golden delicious apples. As it breathes, the signature wood and maturation elements unfurl beautifully—introducing layers of fresh butter, toasted hazelnuts, vanilla bean, and warm brioche, all balanced by a fine hint of stony minerality.

• The Palate: Round, Fleshy, and Voluptuous. The attack is immediately rich and full, beautifully coating the palate with a silken, oily texture. Hearty flavors of stone fruits and lemon meringue are broad and expansive. However, the wine avoids any heavy feel thanks to a surprisingly bright, taut vein of acidity that cuts right through the middle, pulling the ample body into sharp focus.

• The Finish: Long, Toasty, and Decadent. It leaves a highly persistent, mouth-coating finish filled with lingering notes of sweet vanilla spice, toasted almond, and a refreshing citrus lift.

Pro Tip

Meursault is universally loved for its broader shoulders and buttery texture, making it an incredible gastronomic partner for decadent, rich dishes that call for a white wine with real weight.

• The Classic Match: A match made in heaven for poultry or rich white meats. Sensational with Poulet de Bresse in a creamy morel sauce, veal chops pan-sear-finished with butter, or roasted pheasant.

• The Seafood Match: The rich, buttery texture aligns perfectly with decadent shellfish. Think Lobster Thermidor, pan-seared scallops with a hazelnut brown-butter reduction, or classic Sole Meunière.

• The "Nordic" Match: This wine is a showstopper alongside Warm-smoked Salmon (Lämmin savulohi) served with a luxurious chanterelle cream sauce, or butter-basted Pan-seared Pike-Perch (Kuha). The nutty oak notes and rounded body of the Meursault echo the smoked and caramelized fats of the fish brilliantly, while the clean finish resets the palate.
