WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Made from Chardonnay vines planted by Claude Seigneuret himself in the 1920s, this cuvée is a love letter to old vines and living soils. Planted on limestone-rich, south-facing hillsides in Bussières, the fruit brings a balance of sun-soaked ripeness and piercing mineral tension. The fermentation is long and native, aging is slow and gentle—10 to 12 months in older barrels, untouched and unrushed. No fining, no added yeast, minimal sulfur. This is white Burgundy in its purest, most honest form.
In the glass, it’s textured yet restrained, with layers of yellow plum, quince, almond skin, and lemongrass, all dusted with a faint saline lift. There's a whisper of spicy patisserie and soft oak, not flashy, but seamlessly integrated—like the structure of a great song you don’t notice until it’s stuck in your head. The finish is long, mouthwatering, and quietly powerful.
The Trebignaud family, now in its fourth generation, continues to farm their 10 hectares with deep conviction—organically, meticulously, and with a commitment to transparency. With Guillaume now at the helm, the domaine is bridging old-school craftsmanship with a new generation’s sensitivity to terroir.
Elegant, mineral, and complete, this is an extraordinary bottle of Mâcon—and a rare find in a region too often overlooked. One taste, and you’ll understand why we didn’t hesitate to bring it in.
