More About the Producer:
It has been said that in partnership, the result is harmony. Through a lifetime of building relationships in the vineyards of Burgundy, Pierre Meurgey has proven this a steadfast rule. A native Burgundian, fourth generation wine trader, and former director of operations of a well-known négociant in Beaune, Pierre enjoys friendships with the top vintners and vineyard managers in Burgundy to source the finest grapes for his two labels Pierre Meurgey and Meurgey-Croses, the latter a tribute to his mother Marie-Thérèse Croses. Pierre is omnipresent in the vineyards from pruning to bud- break to harvest, offering his expertise in organic and biodynamic agriculture while working tirelessly with vineyard managers to oversee the plots destined to become his signature Cote d'Or and Mâconnais wines.
Meurgey carefully selects his favorite fruit from only one conscientious grower per appellation contrôlée. His winery's design takes advantage of nature's own winemaking skills, minimizing demands for manipulation and even casual intervention. Located in the northern part of Macon, the village of Uchizy is known for wines with expressive aromatic profiles and pronounced minerality. Planted to clay and limestone soils with E-SE exposure, this wine comes from 35 year-old Chardonnay vines. It is fermented and aged only in tank to protect its natural freshness and minerality.
