A brilliantly consistent performer over the last two decades, notwithstanding four different winemakers, this domaine can point, by way of explanation, to a clutch of fine Meursault premier cru and village holdings (all of which are bottled separately) and a family inspired ethic of professionalism which informs all aspects of vineyard and cellar work. After an interregnum following his father`s death, winemaking duties were taken up by son Jean-Marc who expanded the domaine via a delicious white Monthelie and premier cru Meursault Bouchères, upgraded cellar cooling equipment, and steadily pushed back bottling dates, allowing the wines longer lees contact in barrel. These changes translate into wines which have gained in density and flavour definition without losing the domaine`s signature fresh, zesty flavours. Les Tillets has surged in quality in recent vintages whilst Les Tessons and Les Perrières still set the standard to beat for other domaines at village and premier cru level.
