{"product_id":"mersault-sous-la-velle-antoine-lienhardt-2023","title":"Mersault Sous La Velle, Antoine Lienhardt 2023","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"462\" data-start=\"107\"\u003eBased in Comblanchien, Antoine Lienhardt is quietly redefining the potential of this overlooked corner of the Côte de Nuits. Convinced the village’s finest sites rival neighbouring Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Crus, he crafts wines that showcase a striking mineral precision and energy, challenging the limits of the Côte de Nuits Villages appellation. Working with old vines (60–80 years) planted by his grandfather, alongside select parcels from trusted growers, Antoine farms organically and biodynamically, with a deep commitment to soil health and vineyard life. In the cellar, his approach is equally gentle: whole-bunch fermentation, short macerations, no sulphur during vinification, and careful ageing in barrel or cement, with minimal sulphur added only at bottling.The result is a range of wines defined by purity, vibrancy and finesse, energetic, expressive Burgundies that offer remarkable value and a compelling glimpse of Comblanchien’s untapped potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"462\" data-start=\"107\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA vibrant and finely poised Meursault, this Chardonnay is aged on its lees to build texture while retaining freshness. The nose reveals pear, subtle honeyed notes, and a chalky mineral edge. On the palate, it is both ample and taut, with bright acidity and a saline lift that drives the finish. Lively yet composed, it captures the depth of Meursault with a sense of restraint and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer \u003cstrong\u003e Antoine Lienhardt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Comblanchien, Nuits St Georges, Burgundy\u003c\/span\u003e, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol  \u003cstrong\u003e13.5% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull body white\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eManual harvest.
