About this product +

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 >

The grapes are from a family domain, at the locality known as "Les Chênes". The hand-picked clusters are pneumatically pressed, and the juice is statically settled over a 12 hour period. The clear juices are then transferred to 1-2 years old barrels for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Barrel-aged for 5 months before bottling
