Domaine Florent Garaudet

2019 Meursault Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Florent Garaudet

Burgundy, FranceVintage: 2019

2019 has been cited as an outstanding vintage and one of the best in recent years. The dry, warm conditions produced low yields of impeccably balanced, concentrated wines with searing freshness and remarkable purity.

In the glass this wine opens with elegant aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus notes which lead to a rich, opulent palate of ripe citrus fruits through to a long, rich and satisfying finish.

The 60-year old vines are grown in a Hospice de Beaune parcel, just under the Meursault 1er Cru vineyard of ‘Les Santenots’ and are planted at a density of 10,000 to 11,000 per hectare. The clay-limestone soils are formed on alluvial stones and produce rich, textured wines. The vines are sustainably cultivated to respect the equilibrium of the environment, with the objective of limiting treatments to what is strictly necessary to obtain a harvest in the best possible condition.

Description

Domaine Florent Garaudet is a small, family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. Approximately 60% of the three hectare estate is planted with Pinot Noir in vineyards surrounding Monthelie, while Chardonnay accounts for 40% covering the appellations of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Florent Garaudet is the fifth generation to cultivate a part of the family domain. He blends a highly traditional approach with a passionate vision for quality and innovation. Florent uses minimal intervention vinification techniques in his gravity-fed winery to produce artisanal and lively wines, which display all the rich, complex characters typical of this distinctive terroir.

The grapes were pneumatically pressed at less than 1.2 bar, in order to preserve the aromas. The must was clarified by cold settling over 24 to 48 hours, before being transferred by gravity into French oak barrels. Fermentation took place with the natural yeast present on the grape’s skin, to obtain the purest expression of terroir. Maturation on the fine lees lasted for one year in carefully selected barriques of 228 litres, of which 50% were new; the remainder were seasoned barrels of three to five vintages. The wine was bottled with minimal fining and filtration and only limited sulphur was applied.
