With family that’s been rooted in the Cote d'Or for several centuries, Jean-Michel Gaunoux cultivates three Premier Cru sites within Meursault: "Perrieres", "Genevrieres", and "Les Gouttes d'Or". Practicing lutte raisonnée in the vineyard, Jean-Michel works the soil without pesticides, practicing green harvesting to ensure low yields. Via traditional vinification methods, Gaunoux’s wines see 15-30% new oak and are bottled after 15-16 months; they are neither filtered nor fined, and their aging potential is outstanding. This is an assemblage of four parcels: Terres Blanches and Pelles on the south side of the town, giving richer fruit and elegance; and Criots and Malpoiriers on the north side, giving leaner, more mineral wine. This wine is self-assured, without need of flash or pizzazz (you won’t find big extractions, high toast oak, or the like here). Solidly built, pure, long, very mineral, and age-worthy. Delicious!
