2023 Meursault Clos de la Velle, Domaine Darviot-Perrin

It wasn’t a given that Pierre-Antonin, son of Didier Darviot and Geneviève Perrin who had created the domaine together back in 1989 would become a winemaker. He had initially forged a promising career in the foreign office, but, thankfully, he finally returned home to take over the family domaine in 2019. He immediately introduced biodynamic practices, although, for the moment, the domaine remains only organically certified. The soil here on Clos de la Velle has a little more clay and the wine is consequently that little bit richer in style with hints of summer straw and ripe stone fruit, but still remains amazingly vivacious and fresh.
