Nobody's Perfect

Chateau de Monfaucon is an 8.15-acre domaine, which since its first vintage in 2013 has faced challenges and triumphs, in the continuing journey of producing our selection of premium organic white wines.

Climate/Soil Continental climate. Clayey limestone soils, on one part and rich alluvial on the other.

Viticulture: Grapes are planted on a double guyot system, and the varieties being Muscadelle, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, & Chardonnay.

A covercrop is planted in the centre of the vine rows as a biological pesticide, attracting the predators who in turn each the pests on our vines. Hand tended and hand harvested, fastidious grape selection at triage before being gently pressed to 0.6 bar pressure, (this is extremely light compared to the normal 2 bar pressure on a standard vineyard). Vinification: slow ferments with strict temperature control, ensures the wines ferment slowly rather than boil away, as rapid high-temperature ferments boil off the fruit esters, which is why our wines are so fruity. The smooth roundness comes from gentle lees stirring, over the period of 6 months as the wines age, this also adds complexity of flavours.

Eco Information: Grown and made using Biodynamic principles (following the moon cycle), Certified Organic (Qualisud).
