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.

The Meursault Sous la Velle comes from a 1-hectare vineyard planted on clay-limestone soils, benefiting from an exceptional terroir that gives the wine its unique character. The grapes are hand-harvested, ensuring meticulous selection. Winemaking begins with a gentle pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation in French oak barrels, with a portion of new wood, adding complexity and structure to the wine. The ageing process lasts between 12 and 18 months, allowing the wine to develop its rich and varied aromas.
On tasting this Meursault reveals notes of white-fleshed fruits such as apple and pear, complemented by hints of citrus and delicate floral touches. On the palate, it is full-bodied and creamy, with a lovely minerality and persistent flavours of hazelnut and butter. The texture is rich yet balanced by a refreshing acidity, making it a complex and elegant nectar.
