Bader-Mimeur 2017 Meursault "Les Clos"

Comes from the parcels La Montagne and La Clairière de la Montagne, right next to Chevalier-Montrachet. Rich, ripe and opulent, with tons of fruit and well-integrated oak. Big apple and exotic fruit notes, with some good palate-staining tannin.  

The Bader-Mimeur family has owned and managed vines in and around Chassagne-Montrachet since the 1700’s. Charles Bader, a wine merchant at the Halle-aux-Vins in Paris, married Elise Mimeur in 1920. Her father, Charles Mimeur, owned the Domaine du Château de Chassagne-Montrachet. Because of a family division, the château (located next door) is now run by another producer who markets wines from many other regions of Burgundy. However, the Bader-Mimeur family owns and manages 98% of the vines of the Château de Chassagne-Montrachet as well as other vines located in the Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin villages. Alain and his wife Marie-Pierre Bader-Fossier are in charge of the domaine while Jean-Luc Huguenin is the vineyard manager and maître du chai, in charge of making the wines. Charles Neal Selections
