Domaine Patriarche
For 7 generations the Patriarche family has been growing vines on their 12 hectare estate in Meursault. Alain Patriarche took over the land from his father in the 1970s and has upheld the family tradition ever since. After harvesting estate wines from different parcels of land are vinified separately to retain their intrinsic characteristic of terroir. Grapes are pressed and subsequently fermented in oak, (25% of which is new oak) before being oak and lees aged in the best traditions of Meursault and finally bottled with minimal fining and filtration.
