Wine tour of Meursault: chronicle of the phylloxera disaster

CHRONICLE OF AN ANNOUNCED CATASTROPHE - When phylloxera made its appearance in France in 1866, Burgundy was initially serene, convinced that the careful care given to the vines was enough to protect them from the scourge. But winegrowers were terrified when the first infested vines were discovered in July 1878... in Meursault, a symbol of excellence! In the years that followed, the vineyards underwent a profound transformation. Immerse yourself in these turbulent times and follow in the footsteps of this small but fearsome insect. Discover wine-growing practices that were sometimes daring, sometimes avant-garde, the inspiring story of a determined woman in the service of science, and the role of a prestigious Premier Cru de Meursault that would ultimately pave the way for the future.
