"A blend of two excellent premier cru sites, raised in a single one-year-old barrel. Partial whole-cluster fermentation brings immediate aromatic appeal, with a gorgeous compote-like nose. On the palate, there’s grip and depth, dark exotic fruit and a confident, structured finish. A wine that balances charm with authority."
Stewart Pryce, Honest Grapes Wine Club Manager
Old vines are the quiet backbone of Pierre Meurgey’s négoce range, and in a demanding vintage like 2024, that pedigree really mattered. Losses were stark in places, with no Mâconnais at all this year, but patience paid off. A dry, sunny finish allowed for long hang times and full physiological ripeness, with very little botrytis to contend with. The result is a set of wines that favour freshness, clarity and site expression, reminiscent of other testing but rewarding years such as 2021.
What the critics say:
"**** From Cras and Teurons, a few whole bunches in the former. Crimson with a lighter rim, very expressive crushed strawberry whole bunches with some raspberry energy behind. One barrel, from the previous year. The stems, which are taken from one sunny corner of Cras which always ripens very well, infuse the finish but there is nothing herbaceous and no dry feel. Long finish. Drink from 2029-2033. Tasted Oct 2025."
