Domaine Xavier-Monnot (doh-mehn zav-ee-yay mo-no)

Location: Meursault, Côte de Beaune Established: 2005 Principal: Xavier Monnot (winemaker & owner) Hectares: 16.5

KEY POINTS: 1. Domaine Xavier Monnot is the former Domaine René Monnier (Xavier’s grandfather), one of the most important producers in the village of Meursault with history going back to the mid-18th century. Xavier took over and renamed the domaine in 2005 to Domaine Xavier Monnot. 2. Meursault vineyards with vines from 30 to 60 years old. Very low yields with bracing acidity throughout all the wines. Moderate use of oak is present but not a dominant component of the wines. 3. Meursault is the primary story, but Xavier’s pinot noir vineyards and wines are very fine as well. Maranges 1er Cru offers an exceptional value. CORE SKU s : 1. Domaine Xavier Monnot, Meursault Les Chevalières 2. Domaine Xavier Monnot, Meursault Les Charmes 3.
