La Pierre Ronde (Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne) Description
Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne wears many hats and, over the past 15 or so years, has devoted himself to helping growers develop and succeed with organic and biodynamic viticultural methods in Burgundy.
We met him at Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet, where he worked for 8 years. With Anne-Claude Leflaive, he founded the well-loved École Du Vin et des Terroirs in 2008, an intimate classroom for Burgundian growers looking to expand their knowledge in everything from plant bio-indicators to sensitive crystallization. In 2012, he published the widely read and well-loved What’s So Special About Biodynamic Wines: 35 Questions & Answers For Wine Lovers. A few years later, after Anne-Claude’s passing in 2015, he decided to leave the domaine and found his independent biodynamic consulting company, “La Pierre Ronde,” in 2016.
Working closely with so many motivated growers in the region, Antoine naturally formed the relationships and mutual trust that inevitably led him to consider purchasing grapes and making his own wine.
Chardonnay planted in the 1950s from the upper section of Charmes ("Dessus"), gentle slope.
Vinous: 92-94 Points
The 2023 Meursault ler Cru Les Charmes-Dessus is a major step up in this range. Silky and layered, with exceptional finesse, the 2023 is positively stellar. White flowers, tangerine oil, marzipan and light citrus inflections all run through this classy, polished Meursault from 70-year-old vines. What a gorgeous wine this is.
