Specification

Producer

Domaine Denis Carré

This domaine was established by Denis Carré and his wife in 1974 with the first vintage produced in 1975. Situated in the heart of the village of Meloisey in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, it covers 12ha in 12 different appellations. Although not certified, the domaine is farmed organically. It has been run by his son and daughter, Martial and Gaetane, since 2008. Full of energy and passion they are raising the quality of wines produced here at an impressive speed.

Tasting Notes

An inviting, vibrant bouquet, buttered apple, cashew, lime zest and minerals all lead to a powerful and balanced palate, showing chalky mineral-led flavours, layered with notes of ripe white stone fruits, cereal, cream and integrated oak. A lovely saline acidity gives a distinct fresh crispness to the finish.

Food Matches

Delicious with pan roasted swordfish steaks with mixed peppercorn butter.

Vinification

Vinified 50% in used oak barrels and 50% in stainless steel tanks, then both elements blended.
