Henri Darnat Monopole Meursault 1er Cru Clos Richemont 2018 is a rich, textural Meursault sourced from the Darnat family’s monopole parcel within the Les Cras sector, delivering concentrated Chardonnay depth with ripe orchard fruit, layered oak influence, and a mineral spine that reflects its Côte de Beaune terroir.

Meet the producer

The Darnat family has long cultivated vineyards in Meursault and surrounding communes, producing terroir-driven Burgundies that blend traditional Burgundian technique with careful parcel selection to express site specificity and palate-friendly richness.

Production

Hand-harvested fruit is whole-cluster pressed with restrained extraction, then fermented and élevaged in French oak barrels with a significant proportion of new oak to build texture and spice complexity. Lees contact and batonnage add weight and a creamy mid-palate before careful blending and bottling.

Tasting notes

Golden straw in colour, the nose shows white blossom, toasted almond, ripe peach and subtle spice. The palate is broad and concentrated with honeyed orchard fruit, warm vanilla from oak influence, a fine mineral seam and a long, savoury finish balanced by refreshing acidity.

Ageing potential

Drink now to enjoy its generous, developed character or cellar for medium term development; will continue to evolve over 5–12 years depending on storage conditions.

Food match

Pairs well with rich seafood preparations, lobster or scallops with butter sauce, roast poultry with cream-based sauces, and mature cow’s-milk cheeses.

Grape

100% Chardonnay.
