Alain Meunier and his wife, Sophie own this 7 hectare vineyard estate based at Premaux-Prissey, south of Nuits, additionally they have vineyard holdings in many parts of the Cotes de Nuits. Attention to detail and a passion for their work has produced wines with an exciting and enviable reputation. The grapes are grown organically and, to maximise the fruit, all the grapes are de-stemmed before vinification. These are powerful, rich wines that are bottled early to protect their intense, concentrated fruit. The wines are only racked before bottling, so there is 15-18 months of extended lees contact. The grand crus are aged in 100% new French oak, and the premier crus in 80%. This wine is a great reflection of the region with plenty of depth, structure and black fruit flavours. The blackberry and plum aromas follow through onto the palate with soft silky tannins and a great finish. (6 x 75 cl)

After spending 15 months in oak this 100% Pinot Noir has a very attractive dark colour with ruby reflections. The nose is showing dark berries including blackcurrant and blueberry while the mouth is very rich and structured, supported by highly refined tannins. (6 x 75 cl)

Very pure ruby coloured wine displaying a nose bursting with fruit, and a well-integrated woodiness. In the mouth there is perfect concentration and harmony, with superb length. This wine is produced from old vines with highly precise characteristics including high vegetation trimming, restricted yields with drastic debudding, cluster thinning, if necessary. Here work on the soil does not use fertiliser and vine protection techniques adopted are friendly to the environment and other plant life. 100% Pinot Noir the wine is matured for 15 months in casks without racking,while a fairly low proportion of new wood is used. Finally, the wine is bottled by means of gravity, without fining or filtration. (6 x 75 cl)
