Handford Wines

Now run by the charismatic, Thierry Matrot, this domaine is Meursault’s most significant in terms of vineyard holding and quality combined. Thierry is one of few modern growers who prefers to store and sell when the wine is near to maturity, foregoing the cash advantage. However he has released a few cases for sale ‘en primeur’. I assure you that the red Meursault, ‘La Piece sous le Bois’ is as great as ever. It’s unusual but I cannot commend it to you highly enough.

The Wine

There has been less oak on this over the last two year and it's suited us well. Approximately 15% of the wine is aged in new oak, the rest in tank. The wine is all bottled under screw caps, a function of its early drinking style. There is a big attack of citrus fruit here. Wonderfully refreshing and expressive. For drinking young and fresh.
