    Domaine Chapuis, France
    Domaine Chapuis is a small, family estate producing stunning quality Bourgogne Rouge. Their 13 hectare estate is in "Les Cras" lieu dit, Mancey, which is just west of Tournous in the North-West area of Macôn. Since 1997, domaine has been managed by François Chapuis, with his parents Jean and Josette providing extra hands. François pampers the vines. "At the estate, we advocate reflective viticulture that takes care of the natural environment. This philosophy must go beyond basic notions of profitability." The domaine has been organically farmed for 10 years. Ploughing, earthing and de-earthing, hoeing, and weeding on each of 20 parcels 4 times a year. This aerates the soils and mixes in decomposed cover crop and other organic matter, allowing the domaine to farm naturally with no pesticides. In the cellar, François uses a light touch to allow the fruit to shine through. After a maceration period of 10-15 days, depending on the vintage, the wines are partially aged in barrels (about 25%).

    Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

    These are the fun, fruit-driven and lively Chardonnays of white Burgundy, often offering some fantastic values and options that you don’t have to cellar. Flavors range from fresh green apple and lemon to melon or pineapple; some of the best are fleshy and mineral driven or balanced by a light touch of oak.

    Mâconnais Chardonnay may have the weight of their more serious Côte de Beaune sisters, but not quite the refinement. Still, this appellation is one of the best ways to jump from California Chardonnay to something new and begin to understand white Burgundy.

    The Mâconnais region is warmer and drier than the rest of Burgundy to its north (Côte d’Or) and has a landscape of rolling hills and farmland interspersed among vineyards. The region produces a lot of Chardonnay—Viré-Clessé and Pouilly-Fuisse are among the best—and a very small amount of red wine from Gamay and Pinot Noir. The soils of Mâconnais remain limestone dominant like in the Côte d’Or, making it a wonderful spot for Chardonnay to thrive. Gamay's home of Beaujolais lies just to the south.
