This is an exceptional value for a rare and highly regarded Burgundy. The renown 1er Cru vineyard ‘Les Veleys’ is situated on a steeply sloping, southeast facing vineyard with extremely low yields due to the old vines - the oldest section planted in 1947. In its entirety, ‘Les Veleys’ encompasses 1.5 hectares with annual production of approximately 450 cases. "The 2019 Mercurey 1er Cru Les Veleys offers up notes of cassis, plums, smoked meats and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, deep and velvety, with powdery tannins, it's richly structured but charming."

The Domaine du Meix Foulot, an exceptionally beautiful and historic domaine, has been in the hands of the de Launay family for multiple generations. It is also one of the most important domaines in Mercurey, in terms both of size and excellence, with an imposing collection of vineyards that capture the full range of this underappreciated appellation.
