This estate was born in 2005 from a few plots in Mercurey by Gaëlle and Jérôme who worked in the winery and also in wine laboratory analysis. Based in the village of Barizey, 5 miles from Mercurey, they have 10ha worked with minimal intervention, low yields and little chaptalization. It is all hand-harvested and sorted, the fruit being the focus with gentle oak, not only the result of the excellent terroir, but also of quality-focused appellation laws. The maximum yield here is closer to the stringent regulations of the Cote d'Or than to the slightly more relaxed rules that apply to the rest of the Chalonnaise.
Gaelle et Jerome Meunier Mercurey Rouge 2019
13.5% abv
Vol- 75cl
This is the result not only of the excellent terroir, but also of the more quality-focused appellation laws. The maximum yield for crops here is closer to the stringent regulations of the Cote de Nuits and the Cote de Beaune than it is to the slightly more relaxed rules that apply to the rest of the Chalonnaise. This wine has lovely flavours of cranberry and redcurrant, and would pair beautifully with a duck breast cooked pink.
