Meursault ‘Les Clous’

HISTORY  The family tends its 22 acres of vineyards in Monthelie, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard sustainably, and carries a certification HVE3 (Haute Valeur Environnementale), which ensures that vines and soils are cared for as naturally as possible, treatments are minimal and that biodiversity is protected.

All grapes are harvested by hand in small crates, and fermentation is carried out on indigenous yeasts. Whites are fermented either in temperature-controlled tanks or French oak barrel, then aged in barrel and in tank. Reds are destemmed, fermented in tank and aged in barrel and tank. Wines are lightly filtered before bottling

VINEYARDS & WINEMAKING  ‘Les Clous’ sits at altitude on a hillside facing east, near the forest line. Here Meursault’s buttery majesty meets a higher-altitude energy for a white Burgundy with plenty of ripe white fruit and nutty nuance.
