Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Under the aegis of Olivier Halley, Stéphane Follin-Arbelet and cellar master Emmanuel Escutenaire, this estate has grown to 65 hectares in 2018, and in recent years has undertaken a revolution in its working methods and interpretation of the nature of its terroirs. 30 hectares are farmed organically, with the aim of converting all of them within the next three years. Colossal investments in high-performance viticultural equipment over the last three years have enabled us to make progress. The whites have both a dynamic tension and a generous mouthfeel, even if 2018 will not be the vintage that suits them best. The reds, whose grapes are de-stemmed and optically sorted before fermentation at low temperature followed by 12 to 15 months in barrel (25 to 40% new), are sappy, fleshy and deep, with racy 2018s. An absolutely impressive progression in a minimum of time for an estate of this size.

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
The emblematic Ch. de Meursault, a mecca for Burgundy tourism and wine folklore - the famous Paulée is celebrated here the day after the Hospices de Beaune sale - has changed hands many times: the Pierre de Blancheton family until the Revolution; the Serre family in the 19th century; the Comte de Moucheron family; the Boisseaux family (Maison Patriarche) from 1973. In December 2012, the Halley family bought the estate. Today, 65 hectares of vines are under organic conversion. At the helm of the winery: Emmanuel Escutenaire.
