About the place
Domaine Jeannot is a family estate on the edge of Meursault, next to the village's medieval leprosarium. Valérie and Philippe Jeannot started it in 1997, and their son Quentin has worked with them since 2014. They make some twenty appellations from about 9 hectares of vines in five villages of the Côte de Beaune, and receive visitors by appointment.
What you will see
A visit with the family covers the vineyard work and the cellar before a tasting of red and white wines from across the domaine's villages. As the family both makes and sells its wines, you can buy the bottles you like on the spot.
History
Valérie and Philippe Jeannot, both from Burgundy, began farming a few plots in 1997 and soon founded their own domaine. Plot by plot, they built it up to about 9 hectares on the Côte de Beaune, and later moved the estate to Meursault to give it room to grow, with new buildings and equipment.
In 2014 their son Quentin came back after studying at the wine school of Mâcon-Davayé and brought a new focus on export: the wines now go to more than ten countries. The vines run from the Maranges and Santenay to Meursault and Pommard. They are farmed along organic lines, without certification, with much of the work by hand, from green harvesting to picking, and the wines age for 9 to 18 months.
