    Information
    About the producer

    Following her initial career in journalism, Marthe Henry, granddaughter of the great Burgundy wine icon Pierre Boillot, embraced the winemaking trade in 2013. Passionate and determined, she settled in Meursault and started her training at the Lycée Viticole (wine college) before embarking on a long and thorough apprenticeship with her friends Pierre-Henri Rougeot and Jean-Yves Devevey. Early on, she built up her own business, a micro-trading operation offering premium wines. It was in 2023 that she took over some family vines for the first time, wishing to cultivate and vinify them in a pure, natural style. In the winery, vinification is low interventionist and the wines are matured in oak casks for a minimum of 18 months. Her first vintages already reflect her refined talent, combined with the wealth of a powerful and unique family heritage.

    About the wine

    The Les Grandes Gouttes climat lies at the southern entrance of Meursault, bordering Puligny-Montrachet. The soils here combine light clays with marly limestone, typical of the Côte de Beaune. This composition brings freshness and mineral tension to the wine while supporting balanced aromatic ripeness in the Chardonnay. The grapes are hand-harvested at peak ripeness to preserve the integrity of the berries. The fruit then undergoes natural fermentation in Burgundian barrels (228-litre pièces). The cuvée is subsequently aged for 12 months in oak casks, with around 15% new oak.
    The pale yellow hue shows golden highlights. The expressive, refined bouquet weaves white flowers, fresh citrus and pear, supported by chalky minerality and a discreet buttery touch. On the palate, a lively, taut attack meets bright acidity, balanced by a creamy texture, flowing into a long, saline finish.
