Domaine Nicolas Maillet
THE VINEYARD

In 1999, the Domaine was made of 3.5 hectares. The average age of these vines is 50 years old, the oldest plot is over 100 years old.

2 Hectares of chardonnay have been planted since 2000.

The vines thrive on clayey-chalky slopes with two main exposures, south west and east.

They are maintained using traditionnal methods and our constant concern is to restrict the use of chemical products.

Particular attention is maid to the upkeep of the soil which is supplied with farm manure and regularly ploughed in order to develop deep rooted vines. This also allows the maintenance of significant microbiological activity within the soil.

The harvest is done by hand and we use small picking boxes to respect the the integrity of individual grape.
