Sous la Velle – Pure Meursault in everything but the label!
Within the Côte d’Or, Domaine Denis Carré is a name that stands firm. But even among Burgundy’s classic houses, this estate dares to push boundaries. For true Meursault lovers, Sous la Velle rings a bell immediately: an iconic lieu-dit with limestone-rich soils, old vines and that unmistakable Meursault profile. But here’s the twist: thanks to a quirky appellation border, this wine cannot be labelled as Meursault Blanc – even though terroir and winemaking are identical.
The result? A Bourgogne Blanc that delivers the depth, structure and finesse of top Meursault – at half the price.
In the glass, this Bourgogne Blanc shows a subtle golden hue. The nose reveals ripe peach, yellow apple and a hint of hazelnut. On the palate, it’s generous and mouth-coating, with mineral undertones and vibrant acidity balancing the rich texture. The finish is silky and long, inviting another sip.
✨ Sous la Velle by Domaine Denis Carré proves you don’t need a Meursault label to drink something great. Taste Burgundy with volume and class – exclusively at Bourgognewijn.shop!
