Considered to be one of the finest producers in the Mâconnais, Domaine Cordier is located in the village of Fuissé, managing a unique mosaic of over 100 individual plots, spread over 30 hectares and 8 villages. Cordier and his team work the vineyards organically, with several of the plots so small that they are plowed by horse. The wines benefit from long aging on the lees with barrels, toasted in-house and selected from only the best, finely textured French oak. With growing demand and prices throughout Burgundy, these finely tuned Chardonnays fermented with native yeast, represent exceptional value, terroir, and pleasure. Practicing organic.
From a vineyard of 1.5 hectares comes a Chardonnay with presence and personality. Low yields in the vineyard produce expressive aromas of toasted almond integrating nicely with fruit aromas of peach, apricot, apple, and cooking spice. On the palate there is a touch of butter with an underlying minerality and freshness.
Great quality wines always start with outstanding fruit. With pending Demeter biodynamic certification expected for the 2024 vintage, Cordier is a leader in the region for progressive viticulture and canopy management. Like all his wines, this old-vine fruit is fermented with wild yeast in large wooden vats and moved to barrels with gravity.
