Skyaasen is a new micro négociant located in the very core of Meursault. The estate was started 5 years ago by a Norwegian-American couple who moved to Burgundy in 2017. I tasted a wine from Skyaasen at some good friends' dinner, and decided to go there to taste, as the wine I tasted had some …
Producer Visits
