We are deeply entranced with the wines coming out of the Macon and surrounds, once relegated to the corner as inferior to other parts of Burgundy, this sun-drenched region now produces wines of skyward value and poise. Roger Cordier started the Domaine in 1930 with just 5 hectares spotted across the Maconnais. Selling fruit for years, Christophe (his son) took over in 1987 and instead, focused on improving the vineyards, converting to organics & reducing yields. In 2015 he opened a new entirely gravity fed winery in Fuisse with the aim to take even more care. The estate is now a mosaic of parcels across Pouilly Fuissé and the Macon, over 120 very different plots. He has been farming organically since 2018 and hopes to acquire certification from the 2021 vintage, alongside adopting biodynamic principles for his entire Domaine. All fruit is hand picked, whole-bunch pressed with 90% of all movements in the wine production process done by gravity.
