As Alain and Sophie Meunier were on vacation in late January, I tasted this year with their son Louis, who is now involved in winemaking at the family estate. Louis told me that the domain lost more than 60% of its production in 2016. Their Bourgogne vines were crushed by frost and they did not make their Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru. Meunier added that acidity levels were sound in 2016 and that pHs are around 3.4. The estate did zero punchdowns for their Nuits Chaboeufs, Vosne Beaumonts and Clos Vougeot, but I was unable to taste the latter two wines, as they had just been bottled and quantities were tiny.
