Description
Meursault
Region : Meursault, Cote de Beaune, Cote d’Or, Burgundy, France
Grape : Chardonnay
Generous, rounded Meursault, offering a blast of toasted almonds and honey, followed by a full bodied, complex plaate of ripe fruit and buttery oak in the mouth. Silky & clean with a mineral finish.
Producing the richest wines in Meursault, “Perrieres” is located mid-slope, at the southwestern end of the commune, above the main vineyard road and just north of “Charmes.”
Cultivating 6ha of vines on Meursault, Pommard, and Volnay, Jean-Michel worked with his father, Francois Gaunoux, of Domaine Francois Gaunoux, until establishing Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux in 1990.
Practicing lutte raisonnée, or “the reasoned struggle,” in the vineyard, Jean-Michel works to preserve the soil, using no pesticides, while employing traditional vinification methods. With family roots that have been grounded in the Cote d’Or for several centuries, Gaunoux practices green harvesting to ensure low yields. His wines see 15-30% new oak and are bottled after 15-16 months; they are neither filtered nor fined, and their aging potential is outstanding.
