Françoise Feuillat- Juillot is the daughter of the highly regarded Mercurey producer, Michel Juillot. She grew up amongst the vines and barrels of her family domaine, before studying in Paris and completing a degree in oenology at Dijon University. Francoise has now been joined by her daughter, Camille, as a full partner. The domaine comprises 14 hectares of wonderfully sited, mainly old vines, spread amongst 13 different premier crus in the viticultural amphitheatre that is Montagny. They practice a very strict and meticulous form of sustainable viticulture, work the soils mechanically and all grapes are picked by hand. Les Crêts is a 1 hectare east facing monopole lieu-dit from 25-year-old vines on predominantly limestone soils and is vinified in cuve. The wine is floral and zesty with good minerality.
