Sensory Description
This wine opens with intense aromas of raspberry and cherry, reflecting its primary fruit-forward nature. As it ages, it will develop into a Burgundian classic, with earthy, vegetal notes and nuances of mushrooms, truffle, and farmyard characteristics. On the palate, it is concentrated and complex yet balanced, with a silky texture that evolves beautifully with time.
Producer's Background
Domaine Philippe Germain, based in the village of Nantoux near Meursault, is a family-run estate that has grown to 13 hectares under Philippe’s stewardship. Since 2008, winemaking has been led by Philippe’s nephew, Maxime Champaud. The estate employs agroecological methods, emphasizing soil health, biodiversity, and sustainability. Certified HVE, the domaine avoids herbicides and insecticides, using low-impact techniques to honor both tradition and innovation.
Serving Suggestions
Serve at 60.8–62.6°F (16–17°C). This wine pairs excellently with tomato-based sauces, game birds, and pork. Its evolving complexity makes it ideal for both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring. Decant vigorously to release its full potential and achieve a silky, seamless texture.
