Domaine de la Feuillarde Bourgogne 2023

Located at Prissé the Domaine de la Feuillarde has been run for the last 35 years by Lucien Thomas who took over from his father and grandfather before him, going back to 1934. Lucien brings to the job rigorous working methods, aimed at perfection. “I know exactly the kind of quality I want to produce and the work calls for a draconian approach.” He also brings a new eye to the task, having studied business studies before working for 15 years in agriculture.

Over the last 35 years the domaine has grown in size from 10 to 20 hectares under vines. Working methods in the vineyards have profoundly changed and are aimed at lower yields. Today the Feuillarde domaine is a certified HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale).

Aged in 55% new and 45% 1-year-old French oak barrels. A fruity rounded wine whose very fine tannins blossom on the palate, revealing suppleness and harmony. Notes of ripe red fruits and raspberries.
