Premier Cru 'Clos La Renarde', Domaine Paul & Marie Jacqueson 2019
Founded by Henri Jacqueson in 1947, this esteemed domaine has remained a family affair, with his son Paul taking the reins in 1972, followed by Paul’s daughter Marie in 2006, and more recently, his son Pierre. Recognised as one of the finest in the Côte Chalonnaise, the domaine spans 13 hectares of ideally situated, often very old vines. They rigorously prune to limit yields to around 35 hl/ha and work the vineyards entirely by hand, employing minimal treatments. As one of the few producers in the village to hand-pick all their grapes, their winemaking is exceptionally skilled, with careful use of new oak (20% for whites and 25% for reds) resulting in beautifully crafted wines that are ripe, intense, and remarkably elegant.
Volnay, Les Echards, Pierre Meurgey 2021
Pierre Meurgey is a fourth generation winemaker now bottling some incredibly wines under his own name and is only now being discovered (his recent 2020s were very well regarded by Jasper Morris). His father Henri was a courtier and oenologue in the Cote d’Or and was indeed very highly respected by all growers - Pierre is also one to watch, with the 2018 Savigny Les Bas Lairds getting a terrific four-star review from Jasper, whilst the Pernand Vergelesses 2019 is 1er Cru is also a stunner.
