The Climat
'Les Tillets' is located within the Meursault appellation area, at the top of the slope, at nearly 300 meters altitude. The vines are rooted in shallow, rocky soil mainly composed of calcareous marl. Soil composition, along with altitude and exposition, allow for the elaboration of a fresh and precise Meursault, with fine minerality.

The vintage
The winter was mild, but the alternation of warm and cool periods slowed the vines' growth cycle, thus budbreak was expected for late March - early April. As spring frost spared our vines, flowering began toward the end of May. A first heatwave came in early July, followed by a second one between August 10th and 25th, slightly delaying veraison. At the Château de la Crée, harvest started on September 3rd under summer conditions. 2023 marks the second consecutive vintage delivering both above-average yields and quality. The Chardonnay has reached optimal ripeness while preserving a lovely freshness. The Pinot Noir shows great aromatic structure.
Tasting note
True to its terroir, this Meursault "Les Tillets" offers an elegant nose with aromas of yellow fruits, honey and almonds as well as notes of fresh butter and brioche. The palate is rich and round. The delicate balance between this wine's richness and its freshness contributes to its excellent drinkability. Its mineral finish lingers on notes of toast and butter.
