Domaine Meuneveaux

This domaine, an Aloxe-Corton-based producer that I have followed in recent years, might well be one of the least known within this report. They offer well-crafted wines that are de-stemmed and in 2017 saw no new oak. It might be regarded as a “traditional” Burgundy domaine without the bells and whistles of modern techniques. “I started the harvest on September 5,” explained Freddy Meuneveaux, who took over from his parents five years ago. “There were good yields and plenty of fruit. It is a very Pinot Noir vintage. The fruit was reaching 13.5° alcohol and we did just a little chaptalisation.” The domaine had already bottled their 2017s, including the Grand Crus. I would seek out their Corton-Bressandes, which is my pick of their range, just like at Tollot-Beaut. In terms of value, I thoroughly enjoy their Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru from the foot of the Corton hill.
