In Meursault Les Pellans were fields. They were humid lands. This climat, whose name is derived from the Old French word Pevle meaning “pasture”, is on the road to Puligny-Montrachet.

Vinification

Long, gentle pneumatic pressing, followed by overnight settling.

Alcoholic fermentation takes place partially in stainless steel vats. The wine is then transferred into barrels (around 15% new) for its malolactic fermentation, after which it is matured for 12 months. Racked into stainless steel vats and aged for a further 6 months before bottling.
