Meursault La Barre comes from a 0.49-hectare parcel that Armand took back in 2015, planted in 1969 and 2008. The vineyard has shallow limestone-marl soils with a relatively high proportion of clay, a composition that gives La Barre greater richness and density than some of the domaine’s other Meursault sites.
Made entirely from Chardonnay, the wine is matured for 11 months, with 20–40% new oak. It combines the breadth associated with Meursault with freshness and definition: ripe orchard fruit, toasted nuts and acacia are supported by a fuller, textured palate and persistent acidity. Armand Heitz describes La Barre as a particularly consistent expression of the appellation, bringing together freshness and purity with the weight and intensity characteristic of the site.
