PRODUCER PROFILE
The Domaine follows organic practices and has undertaken soil studies of their vineyards to help fully express the qualities of each site. New plantings are done using cuttings from the oldest vines in Fourchaume. Vinification is done on a parcel by parcel basis and with minimal intervention, with the goal to express the aromatic intensity ofeach parcel. Michel’s aim is freshness with only some wines under going partial malolactic fermentation; oak isused sparingly and more as a seasoning. The result is a creamy, round and savoury style with tension and chalky minerality running throughout.
PRACTICES VINEYARD & VINIFICATION
The grapes are handpicked from organically certified vineyards rooted in limestone and clay soils, which contribute to the wine’s structure and minerality. Fermentation is carried out using only natural yeasts in stainless steel vats over a period of two months, all owing for a slow, controlled development of aromas and complexity. The wine is then aged on lattes for 30 months, enhancing texture, depth, and refinement before release.
