Meursault Les Terres Blanches Bernard Millot 2021

In the heart of the prestigious Côte de Beaune and the picturesque village of Meursault lies Domaine Bernard Millot, now managed by Bernard and his son Emilien, making him the fourth generation to do so. The eight hectares of vines are planted in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Beaune, and grown with the utmost love and care, the idea being to allow the terroir to express itself through lively, vibrant wines.
The estate is certified organic practices, with biodynamic practices are also used (plant infusions, aeration and trellising). The soil is mainly ploughed in summer, which allows the vegetation cover to be removed naturally. Harvesting is carried out by hand at full ripeness and the grapes are placed in back baskets before being transported to the vathouse in harvesting bins. In the winery, winemaking is meticulous, with fermentation triggered by native yeasts and minimal use of sulphur. Ageing is carried out in barrels, a proportion of which have already held one or more wines.
Emilien, a generous and gifted winemaker, is also ambitious enough to plant a few rows of Syrah as an experiment, a way of anticipating the effects of climate change. Balanced wines from an estate well worth following.
