Domaine Gaëlle et Jérôme MEUNIER Mercurey

Jérôme and Gaëlle both worked in the wine world before starting their own vineyard, Jérôme as vineyard manager of a domaine in the Côte de Beaune and
Gaëlle was in charge of a wine laboratory.

They have bought various parcels of land in and around Mercurey over the years and in 2007 bottled their first vintage under their own label. In 2011 after another winemaker retired they took over 4 hectares of vines in Puligny-Montrachet to complete their estate.

The grapes for this wine come from 2 parcels in the heart of Mercurey. The soil is clay and limestone and the grapes are hand harvested. Grapes spend 10-15 days fermenting in the tank before being put into French oak barrels (20% new). Indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation and the wine spends 10 months in barrel before being blended and bottled.

Producer’s Tasting Notes

A wine which drinks superbly well when young. There are aromas and flavours of raspberry and strawberry and is ideal to drink with grilled red meats. Can be kept for 3 to 5 years after bottling.
