The Authentic Expression of a Terroir from Burgundy by Domaine Cordier Père et Fils

The Estate

Founded in 1945 in the heart of Burgundy, Domaine Cordier Père et Fils is a historic figure of the Mâconnais vineyards. Initially concentrated on just a few hectares, the estate now spans 31.5 hectares across a mosaic of exceptional terroirs. Currently run by Christophe Cordier and Serge Germain, the family estate stands out for its deep commitment to quality and environmental respect, reflected in its organic and biodynamic certification. The estate is renowned worldwide for its cuvées, which reflect the unique identity of each plot.

The Vineyard

The vines used to produce the Mâcon-Fuissé thrive in the commune of Fuissé, in the southern part of the region. This terroir benefits from great geological diversity, combining marl-limestone soils to the west and pink microgranite to the east. The vineyard is cultivated with great agronomic rigor, including short pruning, canopy weaving to protect the grapes, and soil work partly carried out using horse-drawn traction to preserve its vitality.

The Vintage

The year 2022 stood out as a major success for the region's white wines. The climatic conditions allowed for grapes with ideal ripeness, offering a remarkable balance between lovely freshness and generous body.

Winemaking and Aging

The making of the Mâcon-Fuissé 2022 begins with entirely hand-picked harvesting. The whole clusters undergo a very gentle pneumatic pressing. The juices are then transferred by gravity to ferment solely through the action of indigenous yeasts. Aging takes place on its original lees in French oak barrels and large foudres, thus preserving all the wine's freshness. Bottling is carried out by gravity, without fining and with extremely light filtration.

Grape Variety

100% Chardonnay.
