PRESS REVIEW FOR DOMAINE JEANDEAU
 
Le Journal de Saône et Loire
 
                                                                         from the  25 April 2002

Traditional methods to produce

             the good wine of tomorrow.
 

 

 Denis  Jeandeau,  young  wine-maker  in  Fuissé, 
defends his ecological convictions.
      It's  only  natural   therefore that  he  decided  to  transform  his  family  property into "BIO".
      At  25  years of age, he isn't a novice in the field.
Holder  of  a  BTA  and a  BTS  in  viticulture gained 
at  the  viticulture  college  in  Davayé, France, he as 
also   worked  in  vineyards  in  Chili ,  Portugal , and 
Switzerland to gain experience... 
      He is also passionate about biodynamics.
     This science, follows the cycle of the moon,  which determins  when  the  soil   should  be  worked  upon.
A  system  that  presents  far  more problems  far the
wine-maker than classic methods. 
     Courageously, Denis has decided to work the soil
using horses.
A  technique   worthy  of  our  grand-parents ,  which 
respects  the land.

La Revue du Vin de France




Pouilly-Fuissé 1996

A beautiful  goldengreen,  this  wine  develops a  fresh 
bouquet  of acacia  flowers and the vine. 
In  the  mouth,  it  shows  itself as  lively and dry , with 
overtones  of  citrus fruit with a pleasant richness that
comes from the alcohol which is very much  present.

To be drunk with rich food.
