Tasting notes
The perfume is very impressive with ripe fruit notes, minerals and a nice touch of wood. The taste is equally impressive and exciting. The attack is rich and oily, with juicy, fresh acids in the finish.
Domain information
Domaine Dupont-Fahn
Michel Dupont lives near the walled hamlet of Clos des Toisières. This is located in the municipality of Monthélie, near Meursault, where he owns a small but renowned wine estate. The wines from Domaine Dupont-Fahn are exuberant. They have an almost sultry perfume, an exotic taste and an extreme ripeness. He always harvests very late and does not shy away from a certain 'botrytis', because this breaks down the acids in the grape and adds some fatness. By harvesting late, the yield is always low with him. Dupont clearly chooses wines that should be drunk young.
Regional information
Burgundy
Burgundy is the famous wine region in the eastern part of France that extends roughly two hundred kilometers south from Dijon to Lyon. The region is divided into a number of sub-regions, each with its own character. White wines are made mainly from Chardonnay and red wines from Pinot Noir. The northernmost part is Chablis, known for its dry, mineral and fresh white wines. This special sub-region is located northwest of Dijon, near the city of Auxerre. Just south of Dijon begins the most evocative region, the Côte d’Or. This region is generally divided into the Côte de Nuits, the region that runs to just above the town of Beaune, and the Côte de Beaune, the region south of Beaune. The great white and red Burgundy wines almost all come from the Côte d’Or. South of the Côte de Beaune we find the Côte Chalonnaise and even further south the Mâconnais, mainly known for its white wines. Even further south lies the Beaujolais, which falls under Burgundy, but has a separate status as a wine region. The grape that plays the leading role here is the gamay, from which light and fruity red wines are made.
