Dom Carre

Situated in Meloisey in the Haut Cotes, this family Domaine was created in 1975 by Denis Carre and has over the years grown to an estate of 13 Hectares with some 13 different appellations. Denis’ children, Gaetane & Martial have been involved in the vineyards since a young age and in 2008 both joined the family business full-time. The vineyard work is meticulous and while not organic, “la lute raisonnee” is followed – in other words as organic as reasonably possible. The soil is worked and aerated, deleafing is done manually and the yield is constantly surveyed and measures taken to keep the volume well below maximum tolerances. Harvesting is entirely by hand, with small caissonsrates used before proceeding to the winery, where severe sorting takes place.
