Domaine Manciat-Poncet

Marie-Pierre Manciat

Since 2003, Marie-Pierre Manciat has been in charge of her domain at the foot of the famous Solutré rock in the Mâconnais. Marie-Pierre was spoon-fed into the profession. Her father is regarded as one of the best winemakers in the region. In 1991 Marie-Pierre started her own domain and in 2003 she took over the domain from her father. She became the sixth generation on the domain. The 22 hectares came together after a marriage between Marie-Pierre's parents. Her father's family owned a lot of land in the Maconnais appellation, while her mother's family brought in the vineyards in the Pouilly Fuissé appellation. All 22 hectares of vineyard are worked by Marie-Pierre according to the rules of the agriculture raisonnée. She does not use any herbicides or pesticides. According to Marie-Pierre, the quality of the grape is a reflection of the quality of the terroir and therefore the soil. Her philosophy: this beautiful profession shows you to be humble, because we depend on nature.

Burgundy Wines

In fact, the Burgundy wine region consists of six different areas. The most northerly is Chablis where only white wines are made on the unique chalk soils. The Côte de Nuits can be found between Dijon and Beaune, a sub-region where mainly red wines are made. Here you can find Grand Crus such as Vlos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Mazis-Chambertin. Between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saone lies the Côte de Beaune. A region where both white and red are made, but the white wines from villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet have almost reached cult status. Chalonnais begins south of Chassagne-Montrachet, an area with villages such as Rully and Mercurey. Here wines are made with a wonderful price-quality ratio. The most famous white wines from the south in Burgundy, the Maconnais, bear names such as Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon. A little further south is the Beaujolais, also part of Burgundy. No pinot noir here, but gamay for the red wines
