Domaine Thierry Drouin - Le Vieux Puits 2020
Domaine Thierry Drouin is located in Vergisson, in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy. Established in 1981, the estate now covers about 10 hectares: 7 hectares in Pouilly-Fuissé, 3 hectares of Mâcon white and red and 60 ares of Saint-Véran. The farming practices are environmentally-friendly and the vineyard benefits from a mosaic of soils offering an exceptional diversity of terroirs.
Le Vieux Puits comes from 2.20 hectares of Chardonnay vines, located in the Mâcon-Bussières appellation. The vinification begins with a slow and gentle pressing of the grapes using a pneumatic press. The must is then decanted in a tank for 16 to 18 hours. The clear juices are then introduced by gravity into oak barrels. Aging lasts 8 months, in 500-litres oak barrels, on fine lees.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
