    Domaine Meix-Foulot, France

    The Domaine du Meix Foulot has been in the hands of the de Launay family for multiple generations, with the current proprietor, Agnès Dewé de Launay, at the helm since the mid 1990's. Agnès's father, Paul, was one of the pioneers for greater quality in the region, seeking greater concentration and finesse in his wines by ploughing his vineyards, limiting treatments, and introducing a green harvest. Paul's great-grandfather created the Mercurey appellation in 1923. Situated high on a hill between Mercurey and the ruins of the Château de Montaigu, one of the last strongholds of the Burgundian dukes, the domaine is surrounded by 20 ha of gently sloping vineyards, with 90% planted to Pinot Noir and the remainder planted to Chardonnay.

    Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

    Cote Chalonnaise, Burgundy

    Beloved for its deep and flavorful reds made of Pinot Noir, Mercurey is the largest and most important village in the Côte Chalonnaise of Burgundy with most of its vineyards tucked away in hillsides or stretched along the aptly-named “Golden Valley.” This valley, sheltered from the moist and cool air that funnels along at lower elevations, is ideal for ripening Pinot noir.

    Mercurey follows strict yield laws, similar to those at the Côte d’Or village level, promoting the development of deep, full, concentrated and age-worthy Pinot noirs. In their youth, a chewy and rich structure supports flavors of ripe strawberry, raspberry and cherry. Age brings notes of underbrush, tobacco and cocoa.

    While Pinot Noir claims the majority of Mercurey vineyard acreage, Chardonnay does grow here and produces uniqely floral and spicey scented white wines.
