Sourced from a historic parcel within the celebrated Clos des Epenots Premier Cru in Pommard, 'Les Trois Journaux' takes its name from an old French agricultural measurement: a 'journal' represented the amount of land a single worker could cultivate in one day. This specific site, spanning roughly one hectare, features iron-rich clay and limestone soils that impart a distinctive power and structure to the wine. Château de Meursault crafts this cuvée with meticulous care, utilizing traditional fermentation and aging in French oak casks. The resulting Pinot Noir is deeply colored, robust, and complex, beautifully balancing Pommard's signature muscular tannins with the elegant, velvety red fruit and earthy undertones characteristic of this exceptional terroir.
