Founded in 1982 by Alain Mathias, the Domaine is now led by his son Bastien and his wife Carole, who took over in 2015. Alain was ahead of his time, embracing organic and sustainable practices in both vineyard and cellar—located in an old quarry in Epineuil—at a time when mechanical methods were becoming the norm in a region eager to capitalize on its growing fame.
Carole and Bastien continue his legacy while introducing their own innovations to keep the Domaine moving forward. They focus on preserving purity and freshness in the face of a warming climate by incorporating larger oak vessels, ceramic jars, amphorae, and new stainless steel tanks into their aging process. Their vineyards are situated in Villy and Lignorelles, where the soils are a mix of Portlandian and Jurassic, as well as in the steep 1er Cru Vau de Vey, planted on Kimmeridgian limestone.
This Pinot Noir comes from 2.5 hectares of 30-year-old vines planted on Jurassic soils and Kimmeridgian limestone in Epineuil. Fermentation involves pigeage and remontage to extract tannins and fruit from the delicate skins, lasting just one week. The wine is then aged in 40% stainless steel and 60% oak vats, allowing the tannins to soften and the wine to develop complexity. The result is a finely-tuned, delicious wine with complex Pinot aromatics and a concentrated, well-structured palate.
Épineuil is one of the most northernly appellations of Burgindy, closer to Chablis. This cooler climate area has recently come to the fore given the increasing temperatires faced by its more sourthern appellations. Expect fresh red berry fruit flavours punctuated by black pepper and a little smoke.
