2019 Domaine Du Meix-Foulot, Mercurey 1er Cru, Burgundy, France
ABOUT THE WINE
This 2019 Mercurey 1er Cru is composed entirely of Pinot Noir sourced from Domaine du Meix-Foulotâs Premier Cru holdings in Mercurey, one of the most respected communes in the CĂŽte Chalonnaise. The wine opens with aromatic notes of red currant, pomegranate, rose petal, and a subtle forest floor nuance, reflecting both site and vintage. On the palate, it is lithe and focused, with a cool-toned fruit core framed by supple tannins and refreshing acidity.
The vineyard sits on limestone-rich soils with clay topsoil, promoting finesse and depth in the final wine. The domaine practices sustainable farming, with minimal intervention in the cellar. Vinification involves partial whole-cluster fermentation and aging in French oak barrelsâmostly neutralâwith a gentle touch to preserve purity. This Premier Cru is ideal with roast duck, mushroom risotto, or aged ComtĂ© cheese. Its poise and structure also promise graceful aging over the next decade.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Domaine du Meix-Foulot is a historic, family-run estate in Mercurey, Burgundy, with roots dating back to the 17th century. Today, it is led by AgnĂšs DewĂ© de Launay, who carries forward the domaineâs classicist vision: restrained winemaking, respect for terroir, and wines that speak clearly of their origin. Farming is sustainable with a strong emphasis on biodiversity and soil health. In the cellar, the approach is hands-offânative yeasts, modest oak use, and no fining or filtration when possible. Meix-Foulot is celebrated for producing some of the most refined and age-worthy wines in the CĂŽte Chalonnaise, consistently over-delivering in both quality and character.
