Dominique Cornin Pouilly Fuissé 'Clos du Roy' Bio 2020

Chaintré was already known in Roman times for its strategic location on the north-south route on the Saône River. They built a large Gallo-Roman village: the town of Cantriaca, where the name Chaintré originated. Because the surrounding hills were well exposed to the southeast, they decided to plant vines there as early as the 3rd century. On this spot, in the 19th century, Mr. Reyssié planted chardonnay and turned those of the Pouilly-Fuissé terroirs into a star. Clos du Roy, comfortably rooted on its delicate slope, draws its strength and personality from the rich and deep clay residues of its terroir. The full-bodied, well-ripened personality enhances the soft yellow peach and exotic fruit aromas.
Aging: French oak barrels (228 liters) for 12 months. Additional aging of 12 months in stainless steel barrels on fine lees.
  • About Dominique Cornin

    Domaine Dominique Cornin is a small domain in Mâcon and long owned by father Dominique and son Romain Cornin. Together they manage their 10 hectares of vineyards around the village of Chaintré in the southernmost point of the Mâconnais, where it joins the Beaujolais.

    In 1998 they stopped using chemical pesticides. After being successful with an experiment, they switched completely to organic and biodynamic viticulture in 2003. There should, according to their method, be a natural microbiological balance in the soil. Because of this method, their wines offer a very great diversity and their different terroirs are beautifully expressed.

    They also use during vinification only natural yeasts naturally present on the grape, instead of the often used industrial ones. This gives the different vineyards all their typical signature and makes them very distinct in character.
