Description
Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux & Fils Meursault 2015 1.5L
With family that’s been rooted in the Cote d’Or for several centuries, Jean-Michel Gaunoux cultivates three Premier Cru sites within Meursault: “Perrieres”, “Genevrieres”, and “Les Gouttes d’Or”. Totalling 6ha of vines across Meursault, Pommard, and Volnay holdings, Jean-Michel worked with his father, Francois Gaunoux, of Domaine Francois Gaunoux, until establishing Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux in 1990.
Practicing lutte raisonnée in the vineyard, Jean-Michel works the soil without pesticides, practicing green harvesting to ensure low yields. Via traditional vinification methods, Gaunoux’s wines see 15-30% new oak and are bottled after 15-16 months; they are neither filtered nor fined, and their aging potential is outstanding.
Varietal/Blend : 100% Chardonnay.
Soil : Pebbles, clay and limestone.
Fermentation : Long, cool fermentation in barrel; 15-20% new and the rest are one year-old.
