Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Les Parcellaires de Saulx  2019

Les Parcellaires de Saulx is a relative newcomer to the Burgundian scene, and a bit of a disrupter at that. In 2017 the new (American) owners of Clos de la Commaraine in Pommard, also owners of renowned Rully estate Domaine de Belleville, set up a négociant arm on the edge of Meursault in an old manor house with extensive underground cellars, with the express aim of producing unique crus from bought-in fruit or must. There is no blending, except from multiple barrels from the same plot, and each cuvée is true to its individual terroir and its grower. Preference is given to organic and biodynamic growers even though the wines may not be certified organic, and the winemaking, by Isabelle Lauran, is all about exalting the fruit and its sense of place. Most cuvées consist of between one and three barrels and get the sort of individual attention usually reserved for grands crus; here, this extends to every level, from the regional bourgognes up to premier and grand cru status.
