About the winemaker
Since 2020, Marie-Pierre Manciat-Poncet has been joined by her daughter Salomé Larochette, who is responsible for the vinification. The estate covers 23 hectares and includes vineyards in some of the Mâconnais’ most renowned appellations: Bourgogne Pinot Noir and Bourgogne Chardonnay, Mâcon-Charnay, Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Vinzelles Premier Cru, Pouilly-Fuissé and Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru. With a deep respect for terroir and an approach that brings modern techniques and tradition together, Marie-Pierre and Salomé vinify characterful wines that express their origin with clarity and precision.

Details
| Vineyard | The vineyard Les Chênes has a soil with a lot of calcareous clay and the vines are on average 45 years old. There are 7000 vines per hectare, so there is a good planting density. Through a green harvest, if necessary, the yield is kept at about 66 hl/ha. Efforts are made to harvest at a potential alcohol content no higher than 13%. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | After harvest the grapes are pressed immediately and the débourbage takes about 24 hours. No yeasts are added for alcoholic fermentation. If it is necessary to filter before bottling, this is done with bentonite. |
