Coming from 3 parcels ranging from high, middle and lower on the slope close to the border of Pommard in the lieu-dits of Pre de Manche, Dresolles and Peutes Vignes from vines averaging 40 years old. While Meursault is well known for its white wines approximately 5% of the appellation is planted to Pinot Noir (all on the border of Volnay (indeed some of the wines from these vineyards can be classified and labelled as Volnay (like Santenots du Milieu from Comte Lafon). This northern part of Meursault has a vein of limestone marl which is perfect terroir for Pinot Noir. Like all the red wines of this estate this is vinified very gently using the chapeau immerge technique of very gentle extraction which gives very delicate and precise tannins. Using 25% whole-bunch the wine shows lovely raspberry lift with very fine and complex aromas. Very refined tannins with a gentle floating feel and great finesse and length. Like all the reds at this estate this is bottled before the harvest to retain the freshness and elegance inherent in all his red wines. Tiny production and great rarity as Fabien is together with his cousins Coche-Dury one of the few to make Meursault rouge. Well worth seeking out.
