Domaine Denis Carré

Domaine Denis Carré – The established name with a clever twist

Sous la Velle – Pure Meursault in everything but the label!

Within the Côte d’Or, Domaine Denis Carré is a name that stands firm. But even among Burgundy’s classic houses, this estate dares to push boundaries. For true Meursault lovers, Sous la Velle rings a bell immediately: an iconic lieu-dit with limestone-rich soils, old vines and that unmistakable Meursault profile. But here’s the twist: thanks to a quirky appellation border, this wine cannot be labelled as Meursault Blanc – even though terroir and winemaking are identical.

The result? A Bourgogne Blanc that delivers the depth, structure and finesse of top Meursault – at half the price.
