- PRODUCER NOTES
- FARMING & WINEMAKING NOTES
Domaine Coteaux des Margots is perfectly nestled into the M?con hills of Southern Burgundy, just 5km from the start of the Beaujolais. And Beaujolais is exactly where we were for dinner when we first came across this little gem of a producer. 15 hectares of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay are sustainably farmed by Jean-Luc and Veronique Duroussay and their son Pierre-Julien in the gentle warmth of the Macon sun.
Life is generally pretty uncomplicated in the M?con, and so it goes in the vineyards and the cellar. The Duroussay's use lutte raisonnee in the vineyard, which means they only use products when they have to to help ensure a healthy crop of grapes. The Chardonnay for La Pie Col, 'The Magpie's Hill', is hand harvested, then cold fermented with indigenous yeasts. It is then aged for 8 months in a variety of 300L and 500L old barrels and for the first time, in 2023, 20% was aged in amphora. The resulting wine has incredible purity and complexity of both aroma and taste. A true delight.
"The result is a small fruit bomb, chiselled and delicious at the same time."
