Merchant's description
The Marsanne grapes used for ‘Le Méal’ come from the slopes of Méal hillside. The soil, an ancient fluvioglacial alluvial deposit with substantial pebbles, enhances soil warming. The vines, aged over 50 years, yield low quantities, ensuring high-quality grapes. On the palate, the wine presents a full and rounded character, marked by a delicate exotic freshness and subtle notes of roasted almonds.
