Le Limozin is a lieu-dit situated just below the Meursault premier cru Les Genevrières and is named after a stream that used to flow near the vineyards. It is one of several lieux-dits in Meursault that perform above their official “village” level status. Le Limozin typically gives a wine that is broad and expansive thanks to a mix of clay and limestone soil, and Monnot’s old vines — planted in 1961 and 1976 — deliver an especially concentrated version.

The 2023 Meursault Le Limozin comes from clayey soils, giving this a spicier bouquet compared to Xavier Monnot’s other cuvées, with hints of stem ginger filtering through the yellow fruit. Wines from Meursault are typified by aromas and flavors of ripe melon, hazelnut, and lemon custard, and tend to be broader and more textural than wines from neighboring villages. Aging in 15–20% new French oak barrels lends notes of toast and vanilla.
