One of Meursault’s exceptional domaines, Domaine Henri Germain works daily to raise the profile of this prestigious Côte de Beaune appellation.
Founded in 1973, Domaine Henri Germain & Fils is one of the leading estates in the Meursault appellation. Producing mostly elegant, racy white wines from the finest Premier Crus in the Meursault appellation, the domaine also produces intensely aromatic red wines.
Jean-François’ daughter Lucie joined him on the domaine in 2018 to continue the family winegrowing adventure while bringing new values, such as growing certain parcels according to biodynamic principles. On the strength of this fruitful collaboration, the domaine perfects the quality of the wines produced day after day, taking care to let the terroir shine through in each cuvée. The wines they reveal are well-balanced, with excellent ageing potential for those who have the patience to wait for these exceptional bottles.
