Background

The Domaine du Meix Foulot has been in the hands of the de Launay family for multiple generations. Paul de Launay took the reins during the 1960s and now his daughter, Agnes, begins her tenure as proprietaire. This is one of the most picturesque of Burgundian domaines: situated high on a hill overlooking the entirety of Mercurey and surrounded by the gently sloping vineyards of the estate. It is one of the most important domaines in Mercurey with an imposing collection of vineyards that capture the full range of this underappreciated appellation.

Tasting Notes

Pale-yellow colour, almonds and white flowers on the nose with hints of dried apricots. A powerful elegant wine with a good finish.
