The winemaker

The Chardonnay of Domaine du Colombier



Since 1957, the Mothe family has been running the 55 hectares of vines at Domaine du Colombier. The vines are Chardonnay to produce dry, clear, lively and light white wines, with a characteristic yellow colour, with subtle white-green highlights. The wines are aged either in vats or in oak barrels for the Grand Cru Bougros. The vinification process is based on traditional Burgundian methods, combined with modern technical means.
