Domaine Moissenet-Bonnard

The domain has been in the family for eight generations. It was taken over by Jean-Louis Moissenet-Bonnard, the current owner, in 1987. In 2005, he extended the wine-growing estate to the Meursault and Auxey-Duresses appellations. The estate produces nine red wines, four white wines and a white Cremant de Bourgogne.

The vines are protected from pests and fungal diseases without the use of herbicides or pesticides, and are ploughed in order to obtain healthy vines that dig deep to extract the richness of the soil.

The harvest and the sorting of the grapes are carried out by hand, and the wine is raised in 228-liter oak barrels, 30% new medium toast from the region of Allier (France). Alcoholic fermentation will occur in 30% new oak barrels. Aging will last 12 months with lee stirring every 2 weeks for 5 months.
