Domaine Dupont Fahn - Meursault - Les Clous 2018
The Domaine Dupont-Fahn is located in Tailly in the commune of Meursault, in Burgundy and was created in 1975. At that time, the grandfather of Raymond Dupont-Fahn believed that his land, straddling Les Perrières de Meursault and Sous le dos d’Anes, was too rocky and lacked soil. The INAO accepted that 20 cm of topsoil be deposited on the soil. A few years later, following a complaint from neighboring producers, the plot was downgraded for the same reason in Bourgogne Blanc appellation. Almost forty years later, the vines are deeply and perfectly rooted in their original terroir and produce high quality wines. This history, undoubtedly unique in Burgundy, attracts the curious and buyers, and it is now very difficult to obtain these wines. Raymond Dupont-Fahn embodies the third generation of winemakers in this vineyard, which is worked without pesticides.
Les Clous is located at the highest altitude of Meursault and on a very hard limestone. This cuvée comes from 85-year-old Chardonnay old vines.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
