Geographical location and terroir
Meursault is the most renowned village for the production of great white wines in the Côte d'Or. Located south of Pommard, the excellent quality of its Premiers Crus compensates for the absence of Grands Crus in the village. The plot of La Pièce Sous le Bois is located on the top of the hill overlooking Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, in what is known as the Hameau de Blagny. The vines here form a basin rich in white marl. The hamlet is on the border with Puligny-Montrachet and is the highest point in Meursault, at 330m, on the edge of the woods. The vines making up our plot of 40 ouvrées were planted in 1959 and again in 2010 in this extremely chalky soil.
Vinification
Immediately after the harvest, the grapes are pressed in whole bunches in a pneumatic press, then we carry out a static settling of the juice for 24 hours at 12°C. The musts are then put directly into barrels and the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out.
Lightly toasted so-called blonde, 30% new barrels
