Vineyard work in Beaujolais vintages, the art of Bordeaux blend, purchase of grapes and vinification from great terroirs in Burgundy ... all these moments will be decisive in that each will bring their stone to their House, step by step.

MEURSAULT 1ER CRU GOLD DROP DOMAIN HENRI DARNAT 2018

It is in 2000 that Mr. DARNAT took back with his wife the domain exploited by his family since the middle of the 19eme century.

And it is together that they are at the service of their land and their wines. As worthy successors of their ancestors, the vines are worked by hand, without chemical fertilizers or weedkillers.

Nothing like a good plowing that keeps the soil alive and healthy, and that's why the word terroir makes sense.

Each plot, according to its terroir, its climate, its exposure, gives the wines subtle and different aromas. And it is this diversity, preserved by dynamic soils, so typical of Burgundy, that makes Chardonnay and Pinot so tasty.

The vinification philosophy is that of common sense and patience. Common sense and patience is the courage to wait ...

Wait until the grapes are ripe before harvesting them, even if the weather is scary…?
Wait, let the wine be done, at its own pace, in its cask, do not rush it, let it live and grow to be at its peak on our tables ...
To wait is the experience ...
To wait, it is frequent and thorough tastings of casks ...
To wait is the joy of finally being able to taste them ...
