Masse, Meursault 2022
Variety: Chardonnay
Aude Benoit, originally from Paris, moved to Burgundy in 1996 to study wine, met her husband Maxime who was also working in the field, fell in love, and never left.
The couple decided to launch their own project in 2010, farming just 3 hectares located across Beaune, Pommard, and Meursault passed down from Maxime’s grandmother. The land, which had been abandoned for 25 years when they started farming on it, was originally passed down from her grandfather, who was by trade a baker and pastry chef. The site has grown grapes for generations, but until now grew for private consumption.
Their first vintage was released in 2016, and as at the time the couple had no equipment of their own, was vinified at the property of a dear friend and neighbor, Meursault vigneron Charles Ballot. In 2024 all of their wines are vinified on site.
Replanting some of the vines, which were abandoned in the 1990s, the couple and their four children are dedicated to expressing their terroir as purely as possible through a minimal intervention approach to both agriculture and vinification. They use no pesticides, all manual labor, and modify the wine as little as possible in the cellar, opting to use no pushdowns to avoid harsh tannins. All wine is aged in barrel for 12- 14 months depending on the appellation and the conditions of the vintage.
Their label in simple black and white attempts to embody the tensions, evolution and need for movement required in the winemaking process.
Parcel Les Pelles Dessous, located at the exit of the village of Meursault heading toward Puligny-Montrachet. East-facing, with an area of 830 m² (8 ares 30), planted in 1976.
