BECOMING A WINEGROWER AT 20 YEARS OLD
It was in 1998 that David discovered the world of wine and the fascinating job of winegrower. With a strong need for nature and a high school diploma in hands, he began to settle in 2000. Now the estate has reached 8 hectares, located in the municipalities of Solutré and Prissé, where David produces three appellations: Mâcon Villages, Saint Véran and Pouilly Fuissé.
The estate now owns 4 ha of vines across the villages of Solutré-Pouilly and Prissé and produces the appellations Pouilly Fuissé, Saint and Mâcon Prissé blanc.
LOCAL AND AUTHENTIC WINES
In order to offer you local and authentic wines; David's work is minimalist in the vineyard as in the cellar and, above all, identical for all appellations. He only interferes when necessary to obtain, first of all, grapes at the optimum maturity and second of all, wines that simply express their own natural qualities.
By using environmentally-friendly practices, he only apply treatments which are essential for the health of the vine.
Cover planting, mechanical and chemical weeding for those plots which cannot be mechanised as well as the most suitable method of pruning and selective suppression of secondary buds, all aim to voluntarily limit yields.
Temperature control and slow fermentations, followed by ageing on lees are the last stages to finalise the expression of the qualities of each plot, already developed by the work carried out on the vine.
Each wine tells its own story.
The colour is limpid and pale gold in colour. The nose is intense, with notes of white flowers and flint. As for the mouth, it reveals a nice tasty texture that is at once fat, fleshy and fruity.
Culinary Recommendation: To serve 11 C - 14 C. Good match with smoked salmon quiche, fried fish, a good country pâté, a fish foil, roast veal and small goat cheeses.
