Le Grappin, Meursault Sous le Velle

Le Grappin’s origin story is one that many Burgundy connoisseurs have daydreamed about but never acted upon. In the mid-aughts, Australian-born Andrew Nielsen savored an “epiphany bottle” of Dujac Clos de la Roche and quickly made a pivot into winemaking. Andrew eventually found an opening at iconic Domaine Simon Bize in 2011 where he homed in on his vision. With his wife, Emma, they launched a micro-négoce focused on older, underrepresented parcels throughout Burgundy. They are one of the few, truly exciting bright lights on the contemporary scene. I’ll go one further: For my money, no other newfound producer can compete with the finesse, purity, and complexity of Grappin.
