TASTING NOTES
Grilled bread, flint and stone fruits and an underlying salinity and spice. Fresh butter, toasted almonds and hazelnuts, exotic fruits and a hint of herb/shrubbery. Remarkable price-to-pleasure ratio!

"Les Pellans" is a small climat called bordering Puligny Montrachet and Meursault. Cerberon's under the radar gem can be found in many Michelin-starred restaurants in the area. Very little makes it outside of Burgundy.
Located in the heart of the village of Meursault since 1929, Cerberon is the family estate of Francoise Nicvert, whose day job is at Méo-Camuzet. With a winegrowing history stretching back 150 years, the family owns almost 3 hectares of exceptional vineyards in Meursault, Volnay and Pommard.
In the case of Cerberon, Francoise is the winemaker (she handles administration at Méo-Camuzet), assisted by her husband, cousins, and other family members to tend the vineyards and 13th century cellar. Since the 1920s, management of the domaine has been passed from great-grandmother, to daughter.
With its 3 hectares in total, Cerberon is undoubtedly the smallest high-level estate in the entire appellation.
