As summer approaches, we turn our minds to one of the most glorious wines on earth, White Burgundy. We are delighted to have been chosen by Jerome to be the exclusive global distributor for his newest and must have cuvee.
What can we say about the name Jerome Galeyrand and the place Meursault. Both conjure up the very best of Burgundy. This beautiful and fascinating region continue to delight us all with its incredible history and continues to write it's future with people such as Jerome leading the charge. Passion has always driven mankind in every aspect of his life and Jerome's passion to produce a 'big white' has finally come to fruition.
He has been searching for Meursault grapes for over four years. With a formidable reputation to protect and enhance, he finally found what he was looking for from a trusted grower. Only a small quantity of tip top grapes was offered, but Jerome was over the moon with the offer. Just 800 litres of wine will be produced, consisting of: bottles, magnums and jeroboams.
Almost single handedly, Jérôme has enhanced the reputation of Aligote and his Marsannay blanc has thrilled people. Now it's the chocolate box village of Meursault's turn to have some magic sprinkled over it.
The initial tastings in Jerome's cellar were exciting. The quality of the fruit is truly spectacular, leaving two MW's and some of the UK's most competent buyers of Burgundy speechless.
Tasting notes and an update will follow in Dec '24 after our November visit. Don't miss out on this opportunity to purchase a case or two and stay on the allocation for future vintages.
