THE WINES: DOMAINE JEANDEAU   
       

   We produce two white wines of "appellation d'origine contrôlée",
    POUILLY-FUISSE and MÂCON-SOLUTRE,
   coming from the Chardonnay grape variety,
which is very well adapted to our hills with their soil of clay-chalk.
 
POUILLY-FUISSE

    A  noble  wine. To the eye  it offers a  brilliant  clarity shot 
    through  with  reflections of  green  and  gold. To the  nose, 
    it offers either fine floral aromas (violet, hawthorn, acacia)
    or fruit ( pine apple, grape fruit, passion fruit, and apricot ). 
    It   develops  naturally   towards  the  aromas  of  dry  fruit 
    ( hazelnut, almond ) before finishing  on honey, vanilla, and 
    butter.

Domaine Jeandeau

Pouilly-Fuissé, "La Terre Jeanduc", 
is coming from vines 
with an average age of  50 years, 
situated on the hills of the village " Fuissé".
The grapes are picked meticulously by hand 
when they are at their ripest.
Then fermentation takes place naturally,
activated by the yeasts indigenous to our "terroir". 
And, we practice the stirring of the lees,
of the average ageing in oak casks.
To preserve all the richness,, 
this vintage is bottled without fining or filtration.
Possible deposit, once in a while,
is guarantee of authenticity 
for a great wine of "terroir".
 

 

 
 MÂCON-SOLUTRE

  Coming from a plot just near Pouilly-Fuissé, 
   Mâcon-Solutré  is a wine of character,
  harmonious, with its perfume of spring flowers 
  ( hawthorn,   wild rose ).
It is as charming as the poety of "Lamartinien" landscape where it blossomed.
