MARK HAISMA MEURSAULT SOUS LA VELLE
Mark Haisma Meursault Sous La Velle is a composed, layered Meursault that nods to the appellation's richness while staying lifted, with ripe pear and a gentle nutty complexity.
The cellar work builds depth without heaviness. Careful fermentation and lees management create a creamy texture, and maturation relies more on integration than overt flavour, typically favouring older oak so the finish remains precise.
