Wine for sale: Charles Allexant

Charles Allexant

This remarkable Burgundy domain was founded in 1957, when Charles Allexant, an itinerant distiller, acquired his first parcel of vines in Volnay. The vineyard has developed steadily over the years, while remaining committed to an environmentally friendly ethos, designed to optimise the natural expression of the terroir through sustainable viticulture. Today, it is Patrice who is in charge of the domain which he took over in 1981. He tends to the 12 hectares of vines in Merceuil, between Beaune and Meursault. Located in the Côtes de Nuits appellation, the vines benefit from ideal sun exposure and spur pruning to optimise yields. In the winery, grapes harvested at optimum ripeness undergo traditional vinification, culminating in a long ageing period on lees in new casks. The vineyard is a peaceful haven where authentic, tasty wines are carefully crafted.
