Domaine du Meix Foulot
ドメーヌ・デュ・メ・フルロ
Profile
メルキュレ村のサン・マルタン・スー・モンテギュに拠点を置くドメーヌ・デュ・メ・フルロは、この地のテロワールを精緻に表現する造り手である。所有する4つの畑はすべてプルミエ・クリュという極めて高い比率を誇り、コート・シャロネーズ地区における質の高さを象徴している。なかでも1.9ヘクタールを擁するクロ・デュ・シャトー・ド・モンテギュは、ドメーヌの本拠地名を冠した重要な一級畑である。加えて、1.1ヘクタールのレ・ソモンや、レ・ビョ、レ・ヴレイといった優れた区画を保持しており、メルキュレとサン・マルタン・スー・モンテギュの両村にまたがる一級畑の個性を、それぞれのキュヴェを通じて見事に描き出している。小規模ながらも一級畑に特化した構成は、このドメーヌの確固たるアイデンティティとなっている。

History
Domaine du Meix Foulot is based in Mercurey, the largest commune of the Côte Chalonnaise and its main source of red wine. The domaine's history is not extensively documented publicly, but it works vineyards across both Mercurey and the neighbouring hamlet of Saint-Martin-sous-Montaigu.
Winemaking Approach
Five Premier Cru parcels across two communes — the estate's range reflects both Mercurey proper and the hillside terroir of Saint-Martin-sous-Montaigu, giving it a broader palate of Chalonnaise expression than a single-village estate.
