At just 21 years old, Pierre launched his domaine. His wines were under the spotlight from day one, and now, just a few vintages in, they’re among the most buzzed-about in Burgundy. Of all his wines, it’s the Bourgogne Blanc he calls “Eclat de Calcaire” (“burst of limestone”) that most exemplifies his talent and his style. 80% of the vines here are in Meursault, with the balance from neighboring Volnay and Pommard. It’s naturally fermented and aged in Pierre’s signature 456L François Frères barrels (about 30% new oak). This may be Pierre’s “entry-level” wine, but it is comparable to other producer’s wines that cost twice as much. There is finely judged reduction, bright citrus and orchard fruit, and a clear line of mineral tension that cuts right through to reveal its origins in Meursault.
