Where it comes from
This expression originates in Burgundy, in the renowned Meursault district. The grapes come exclusively from the Clos des Mouches plot, a vineyard that gives the wine an extremely precise territorial profile. Its geographical origin enhances its elegant style, remaining true to the characteristics of the soil. Henri Germain masterfully interprets this connection, creating a red with remarkable ageing potential, capable of evolving harmoniously in the cellar for over a decade.
How it is produced
The grapes are carefully selected and undergo vinification that fully respects the identity of the variety. Fermentation in contact with the skins allows for the extraction of colour and structure, followed by a maturation period that rounds out the flavour profile and refines the texture. The result is a wine that balances softness and freshness, ideal paired with roast poultry, veal, mushroom-based dishes, cured meats and soft cheeses.
