The top of the range from Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne — and 2021 was his very first vintage, a short-crop year when most negociants couldn't buy fruit at all. He managed it on relationships alone, built over eight years at Domaine Leflaive and the biodynamic consulting company he founded in 2016. The fruit here comes from the upper section of the Charmes climat, the "Dessus" half on a gentle slope, from Chardonnay planted in the 1950s. Antoine owns no vines; what he brings is method — whole-cluster pressing on a Vaslin press, and, as at the house generally, a deliberate mix of barrel, foudre and amphora chosen so the elevage stays in the background and the site does the talking. Les Charmes is one of Meursault's great premier crus, and this is a serious expression of it from a name that arrived fully formed.

"The 2019 Syrah leads with graphite and steel, blackberry, blood plum and cherry. In the mouth, the wine is elegant and refined, as we have come to expect from Hiro Kusuda. This wine has a distinct autumn leaf, black truffle character, and knowing how gracefully they age, it is barely at the beginning of its life. There is much to give, and the length of flavor tells us everything else that we need to know. Super wine. Quite distinct, with arnica and alpine mint woven through the finish. It’s gently dusty, spicy and voluminous in its way, with elegance and restraint writ large. A pleasure. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under 54-millimeter natural cork." —Erin Larkin

More about La Pierre Ronde (Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne)

Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne spent eight years at Domaine Leflaive, then became a world-class consultant, then started his own house in 2021. These aren't old vines, but his methodology is: amphorae, barrels, foudres, whole clusters. A new voice making wines that respect terroir and refuse to shout.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Butter-poached lobster, roast chicken with tarragon cream, seared scallops, Comte gougeres, or turbot with beurre blanc.

Tasting Profile

Full-bodied white Burgundy with orchard fruit and citrus and a nutty edge. Firm acidity keeps it lifted, and the finish is long and stony.
