Dupont-Fahn Meursault “Les Tillets” 2024 is a precise and lively white Burgundy that beautifully combines tension, finesse, and depth. On the nose, ripe citrus, green apple, white peach, and blossoms emerge, supported by a clear chalky minerality and a subtle hint of hazelnut. On the palate, the wine is tight and energetic, with a beautiful core of pure fruit, fresh acidity, and a refined texture. Despite the classic Meursault roundness, the style here remains distinctly linear and mineral, with great clarity and precision. The finish is long, clean, and saline, with a lovely combination of freshness and finesse.

Vinification.
Les Tillets is a higher-altitude parcel in Meursault and is known for wines with more tension and freshness than the richer, lower-lying climats of the appellation. The vinification is carried out with great attention to precision and terroir expression, ensuring that the fresh and chalky character of the parcel remains central. The wine matures in oak barrels, which adds extra texture and depth without overpowering the fruit or minerality. The wood remains subtle and supportive, highlighting the combination of energy, finesse, and length. The result is a Meursault that focuses on tension and elegance rather than pure volume.

The domain.
Domaine Dupont-Fahn is a family domain in the Côte de Beaune, led by Raymond Dupont-Fahn. The house enjoys a strong reputation for white Burgundies that beautifully combine terroir, tension, and drinkability. The domain's style is typically precise and refined, with great attention to balance, fresh acidity, and a clear expression of the parcel. Even when the wines show more texture and richness, they always remain focused on elegance and purity.

In terms of sustainability, the domain works with great respect for the vineyard and soil. The emphasis is on meticulous parcel monitoring, low yields, and an approach that preserves the natural balance of the vines as much as possible. In both the vineyard and the cellar, a consciously restrained approach is taken, with as few unnecessary interventions as possible, so that the character of each parcel comes through clearly and purely in the glass. This philosophy translates into wines with precision, tension, and a clear link to their terroir.
