Domaine Jeannin-Naltet
A Rising Star
Family-owned since 1858, Domaine Jeannin-Naltet is an increasingly admired producer of Pinot Noir wines in the Côte Chalonnaise village of Mercurey. The domaine comprises 9ha of vineyards, including 7ha of Mercurey Premiers Crus in the climats of Les Naugues, Le Clos l’Evêque and the monopole of Clos des Grands Voyens. The vines grow on an unbroken piece of land near Mercurey village, with the 4.9ha Clos des Grands Voyens the jewel of the estate, producing exquisite Pinot Noir.
The domaine is managed by sixth-generation vigneron Benoît Eschard, who took over from his uncle and has been progressively improving viticultural practices in order to explore the potential of each vineyard plot. This is resulting in ever more refined wines from this highly respected domaine.
