History of the estate

The De Launay family, established in Mercurey for more than two centuries and spanning 8 generations, has been instrumental in defending the appellation. Agnès Dewe De Launay, the current proprietor who has overseen the estate since 1996, represents the 8th generation carrying on the legacy of Edouard De Suremain, her great-great-grandfather who safeguarded Mercurey's terroir as early as 1923, predating the 1936 decree.

Domaine Meix Foulot comprises 20 hectares, with 18 hectares located in Mercurey and 2 hectares in the Bourgogne Aligoté and Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise designations, managed with an eco-conscious approach. Certified HVE, the vineyard is planted with Chardonnay, Aligoté, and Pinot Noir, all contributing to the complexity of the cuvées from Domaine Meix Foulot, resulting in authentic, vibrant, and approachable wines with excellent aging potential.
