Winery Star

Wine Leaders' Choice

Merfy, France

In the 7th century, the villages’ wine growers, situated in Merfy, drew on the heritage of the Benedictine monks from the abbey of Saint Thierry. Generation after generation, Merfy’s wine growers, together with the abbey, shaped the viticultural landscapes of their hillsides, meticulously separating each plot according to its geological origins, soils, subsoils, etc. Names were subsequently inscribed on maps of the village, and these became the “lieu-dits,” which today nourish the roots of the vines growing there.

The traces of the wine growers in their family go back to 1490, with Nicolas Taillet, and Fiacre Taillet in 1540. By 1700, a second Fiacre Taillet, an erudite wine grower, was writing his memoirs recounting his lifework, as well as all the important events of the village, the family, and his profession. The Chartogne-Taillet family continues this tradition of writing and savoir-faire inherited from this legacy of wine growing.
