Finally, the winery also possesses 1 iconic Village Appellation: Meursault Clos de Mazeray (Monopole).

Terroir

A large plot with the evocative name of “Les Champs au pied du Mont” (or “The Fields at the Foot of the Mountain”), located on the slope overlooking the outskirts of Beaune. This vineyard, facing due east, produces both red and white wine. The Pinot Noir grapes in the lower part benefit from a very clayey soil that produces deeply-colored, powerful wines. The high iron content in the soil often accounts for aromas reminiscent of soot or smoke.

Vinification

The grapes were handpicked into small crates, then sorted, 36% whole grapes and the rest destemmed. The wine stayed on the skins for 16 days in temperature-controlled open oak vats. Pigeage (punching down the cap) was done twice a day during alcoholic fermentation. 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged entirely in new oak barrels. Duration of barrel ageing : 17 months

Tasting Notes

COLOR: Attractive ruby-red with a light garnet disk. NOSE: Attractive and complex, with both floral notes (violet, rose, flower petals) and spicy black fruit. PALATE: Tasty, with spicy notes (licorice, cloves) and hints of dark berries (blueberry). Digestible finish with fine, fresh, smooth tannins.
