Domaine Cordier Père & Fils

Fuissé

 

Christophe Cordier

This estate was founded in 1945 by Gustave Cordier, later run by Roger Cordier and now by his son, Christophe. It is Christophe’s talent and passion that have given the estate its reputation as one of the finest domaines of the Mâconnais.

Methods: Cordier is traditionally the last to harvest in Fuissé. Fermentation is followed by over a year in Seguin-Moreau barrels and regular bâtonnage. Looking around the cave one can’t fail to notice the impressive, large new oak barrels in which Christophe cultivates his extraordinary wines.

Style: somehow, the wines always have the intensity and concentration to balance this oak treatment. Christophe’s desire to produce so many different versions of the same appellations reflects his belief in terroir and his desire to express it.
