The name refers to the journal, an old Burgundian unit of surface: three journaux, that is a plot marked out long ago and worked on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes Trois Journaux is a plot identified inside the climat of Les Grèves, halfway up the Beaune slope. As across the whole of Les Grèves, the soil is gravelly and very free draining, but this sector gives a wine clearly more concentrated than the average of the climat, with more depth and a denser frame. Vinified and aged separately, the cuvée pushes the style of Les Grèves towards longer keeping, without sacrificing the roundness of texture that is its signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the critics say about this cuvée\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scores below cover the latest vintages of the cuvée, all vintages taken together. The 2024 vintage earns 91\/100 in Bourgogne Aujourd'hui, and the 2023 was rated 94\/100 by Bettane + Desseauve as well as by TWOFW, 93\/100 in Bourgogne Aujourd'hui and by Jasper Morris, with a silver medal at the International Wine Challenge.

The Moulin Foulot fief it grew out of dates back to the 11th century. Bought in 2012 by Olivier Halley, the estate has since expanded its vineyard: 65 hectares across around a hundred plots, farmed under certified organic agriculture, giving five Grands Crus, twenty Premiers Crus and a dozen village and regional appellations. The estate sells entirely direct, and 100 % of its production comes from its own vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beaune Premier Cru Grèves Les Trois Journaux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château de Meursault\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 100 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic agriculture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 cl, magnum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense dark garnet, thick tears on the glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Candied black fruit, blackcurrant, violet, mocha, liquorice wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concentrated and deep, velvet tannins, long saline carry on black fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe this Beaune Premier Cru Grèves Les Trois Journaux at 15 to 17 °C.

Three journaux therefore means a small plot, marked out long ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy single out this plot of Les Grèves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it regularly gives a wine denser and longer than the rest of the climat. When a plot stands out vintage after vintage, the estate vinifies it apart rather than blending it into the general cuvée.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose a magnum?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe magnum holds 150 cl, the equivalent of two bottles. The ratio between the volume of wine and the surface in contact with air is more favourable, which slows the evolution and often gives fresher wines at the same age. It is also the format for a big table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the bottle shipped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery is free in France on orders from 300 €.
