Producer >
A forward thinking family domaine that despite having generations of winemaking experience have a modern and open-minded approach to their production. Jean-Pierre and Michel Auvigue farm their vines organically; the majority in Pouilly-Fuissé and rest in Mâcon-Solutré and Saint-Véran. There is a real focus on single vineyard expression, ‘each parcel is allowed to remain true to itself’. Experimentation with classical music in the barrel room, the judicious use of older oak and a quietly ambitious yet sensitive approach lend weight to the activities of this domaine and the wines they are producing.
Winemaking >
A blending of plots, all from the villages of Solutré & Vergisson, at the foot of the famous rock of Solutré. The grapes are hand-harvested when fully ripe and pressed immediately by pneumatic press.The juice go through static settling. Only the clear juices are matured in old barrels, for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wine is matured on the lees and regulary stirred. It is then fined and filtered before bottling.
