About the winemaker
Domaine Vaquer was founded in 1912 by the great grandfather of Bernard Vaquer, late husband of Fréderique Vaquer. Bernard trained in Dijon, where he met Fréderique. After his training, they returned to the family estate. Since her death in 2001, Fréderique has been the winemaker of the domain. As a Bourguignonne, she makes a style of wines, reminiscent of the red wines from the Côtes de Nuits. Fréderique Vaquer works as naturally as possible in the vineyards, or in other words according to the rules of agriculture raisonnée. So a lot of work in the vineyards, to maintain them in the most natural way possible. Harvesting takes place at the most ripe moment possible and all grapes are destemmed.
Vineyard management
Practising organics
Details
| Vineyard | The soil consists of argilo-calcic deposits and the vineyard is located at about 200 meters above sea level. The soil here has been formed by the ice age and thus we see many rounded boulders and rocks in the soil that were originally in the rivers. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | The grapes are completely destemmed after the manual harvest to avoid the severe tannins in the wine. The vinification is entirely on cement vats and these are temperature controlled. The vinification is at 25°c and daily retempering happens twice per day. |
