2023 Meursault Les Corbins, 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 vineyard of Les Corbins lies in the northern sector of the appellation, close to Le Cromin and La Barre, where there is a complex mix of limestone, marne and clay, creating a lovely bundle of florality, spice and richness, with hints of stone and chalk.
