With history dating back as far as the late 19th Century, Christophe Perrot-Minot took over the domaine from his father Henri in 1993, right after his 7 years of practice as a professional wine broker. The estate has holdings that came from his maternal grandfather Merme which explains the similarity of their holdings with Domaine Taupenot-Merme, and also from an acquisition of Domaine Pernin-Rossin in 2000. Apart from many wines produced from their own holdings, they also have many wines produced from purchased grapes - most notably several Grand Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin - and are labelled without the word "Domaine".  Their approach to...

Jacques Seysses has made an exceptional achievement by taking only about half a century to turn Domaine Dujac into one of the most outstanding domaines in Burgundy.

If you are searching for some decent wines from Meursault with a more approachable price tag, Domaine des Comtes Lafon is one of the best names to follow.
