The Clos des Quarts is located in Chaintre in the Burgundy region of Macconais. It covers an area of over two hectares and its oldest vines were planted in 1917. Protected by a high stone wall this plot is a monopole. Exposed to the East, with a slight slope and on a very stony clay-limestone and well-drained soil, this plot always offers high quality, beautiful fruits. To preserve this exceptional heritage the Domaine Merlin team applies a vigorous viticulture. The grapes are vinified by Olivier Merlin and business partner Dominique Lafon in the Merlin winery located in la Roche Vineuse.
The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Château des Quarts 1er Cru Monopole has a delineated, precise bouquet with tension and energy. The palate is well balanced with a fine delineation, white peach and grapefruit mixed with crushed stone and a potent ginger note towards the refined finish. NEAL MARTIN
