About the Wine  

The Jehan Emonin label is the ancestral label of the outstanding Domaine Vincent Bouzereau. The Jehan Emonin label was chosen to honor Vincent’s Grandfather (Jehan Emonin). The Bouzereau family settled in Meursault in the 16th century. Vincent represents the 10th generation of vignerons in his family. The estate owns 10 hectares of vines spread out in the Cote de Beaune from Puligny-Montrachet in the south to Aloxe-Corton in the north. The majority of the parcels are located around the village of Meursault. The estate uses sustainable farming to encourage microbial life. The vines are Guyot pruned and the aim is not to manage yield by hectoliter per hectare but rather limit the number of shoots and bunches per stock to have a good air-flow in the canopy. Disbudding is carried out as well. Grapes are picked by hand only when phenolic maturity has been achieved. The wine-making is traditional, using only indigenous yeast. The aging of white wines goes from 12 to 18 months. Pinot Noir wines are aged from 16 to 18 months before bottling. The use of new oak is judicious here with the village and Premier Cru wines aged in 25%-30% new oak, and no more than 50% on Grand Cru. These are wines of pure class and balance.

Aging: 25% new French oak, 100% Barrel Fermented

Tasting Note: 100% Chardonnay. Restrained nose presenting focused calcaire and orchard fruits with hints of toasty oak; very clean and focused citrus and orchard fruits, smoke, almond and calcaire through the mid-palate; nice tension & balance; the finish is clean, fruit-driven with good length
