What’s up, dudes? (And dudettes!)
Autumn greetings to you! I had hoped to get this out before embarking on the fastest whirlwind tour back home in the U.S. of my 10+ years abroad, before catching the tail-end of harvest in Burgundy with Domaine William Kelley, but alack, alas.
All things considered, I lucked out with the jetlag, but I must admit I feel like I’ve crammed in over a month of life into fewer than two weeks. For a peek at harvest, check out the “Harvest ‘26” highlights on Instagram @ThirdPlaceWine.
Without further ado, the final installment of our three-part Meunier series!
If you missed part one, check it out here. Part deux is here.
In today’s installment, we address the one charge against Meunier that could actually have some legs: the idea that it can't age.
Is it true?
Today we'll watch a handful of growers take the "unageable" peasant grape and dismantle three hundred years of received wisdom.
Finally, reply and let me know if you’ve enjoyed the serial format or if you prefer receiving one enormous nerdy essay. Happy to hear your feedback.
Grab a glass!
