Domaine Arnaud Baillot Meursault Blanc 2023

Country: France
Region: Burgundy

Baillot has joined forces with his wife Laure, granddaughter of Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat in Chambolle-Musigny, to create an exceptional range of village and cru-level Burgundy wines. Arnaud has remained closely involved throughout the entire process: from selecting the grape origins and overseeing vinification, to choosing barrel types and determining the ideal ageing for each individual cuvée.

In 2017, Arnaud and Laure took a major step forward by acquiring a small vineyard in the Côte de Beaune, marking the beginning of their own estate-produced wines under the Domaine Arnaud Baillot label. Their guiding philosophy is to honour and highlight the complexity of the Burgundy region through the production of authentic, terroir-driven wines.

Today, they proudly unveil the fourth vintage of their limited-edition, small-batch Burgundy crus.
