Lou Dumont Meursault 2022

Lou Dumont Meursault 2022

Lou Dumont Meursault 2022 is a village-level white Burgundy from the Meursault appellation in Côte de Beaune. Maison Lou Dumont was founded in 2000 by Japanese winemaker Koji Nakada and Korean-born Jae Hwa Park, known for small-scale, terroir-focused Burgundy with a low-intervention approach.

Vinification & Style
Made from 100% Chardonnay, this wine reflects a more restrained and precise expression of Meursault, balancing the appellation’s signature richness and nuttiness with citrus freshness and stony minerality. The 2022 growing season was hot and dry, but timely June rain helped the vines withstand summer heat and drought, producing healthy fruit with good concentration and balance.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Pale gold with light yellow reflections.
Nose: Ripe pear, yellow apple, white peach, lemon zest, hazelnut, butter, subtle vanilla and wet stone.
Palate: Medium to full-bodied, with ripe orchard fruit, lemon curd, toasted hazelnut and a gentle buttery texture. Fresh acidity and saline minerality keep the wine focused and balanced rather than heavy.
Finish: Long and elegant, with lingering citrus, pear, roasted nuts and mineral notes.

Serving & Pairing
Decanting: No decanting required; open 15–20 minutes before serving for fuller expression.
Serving temperature: 11–13°C.
Food pairing: Pan-seared scallops, grilled lobster, butter-poached prawns, roast chicken, creamy mushroom pasta, white fish with beurre blanc, pork loin and Comté cheese.

Drinking Window
Enjoy from now through approximately 2029–2032. With bottle age, the wine should develop more honeyed, nutty, buttery and mineral complexity.
