Pierre Meurgey crafts this Premier Cru from the well-sited Les Vignes Franches vineyard in Beaune, where the combination of limestone-rich soils and careful winemaking produces wines of real finesse. This 2017 shows the vintage's combination of freshness and depth beautifully. We find graphite minerality threading through layers of fresh red fruit, with that lovely lithe quality that makes good Beaune so appealing. The wine has genuine sustain and detail without losing its essential charm.
