Gaelle et Jerome Meunier","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"fixed-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productdescription\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"short-description\"\u003eA project of impassioned labour built from the ground up by husband-and-wife team Gaëlle and Jérôme Meunier, this tiny Chalonnaise estate offers the opportunity to enjoy artisanal wine in the big-money world of Burgundy. The Domaine was born in 2005 when the pair rented their first parcel of vines in Bouzeron, selling to negociants and slowly expanding their holdings to include several parcels in Mercurey. From 2007 they began vinifying and bottling under their own name, and purchased winemaking premises. In the present they now cultivate 30 acres of land ranging from Puligny-Montrachet in the north down to their core holdings in Rully and Mercurey. About a third of these grapes are still sold to cooperatives, with Domaine Meunier retaining the rest for their own wines.\u003cbr\u003eGaëlle and Jérôme pride themselves on harvesting early for freshness, and their wines are defined by a fruit-forward, easy-going style aimed at immediate enjoyment. Interventions in the vineyard and during winemaking are minimised to maximalise sustainability and preserve terroir character. Harvesting and sorting is all done by hand, with natural yeast fermentation and a highly judicious approach to oak influence, which is never overbearing or obtrusive, even in youth. The wines are generally unfined, with only light filtration. Yield restriction is rigorous, and although production is always small, at 2,000 cases in a good year, their desire to maintain quality and concentration irrespective of conditions means that in lean vintages total quantity can be significantly less than this. Indeed, their punctiliousness with selection means that their Chalonnaise wines often meet the far more stringent yield requirements of the Côte d’Or. Although volumes are low, the sheer quality of the wine speaks volumes of its own.\u003cbr\u003eAnother of our producers in high demand, reliably selling out every year.
