Domaine David Bienfait
FRANCE, Burgundy
The vineyards of David Bienfait are located in the southern region of Burgundy. Spread over about 6 hectares, the vineyards are located on beautiful terroirs around the town of Bussières and produce 3 classic wines within the appellations of Mâcon-Villages, Saint-Véran and Pouilly Fuissé.
As a winegrower, David loves to work in the open air, and he can regularly be found in the vineyards. Enthusiastic about nature, he consciously opts for organic viticulture: no use of chemical pesticides or pesticides to stimulate soil life as much as possible. As little as possible is intervened in both the vineyard and the cellar. For example, the wines are only lightly filtered before bottling and the wines are not fined. Also, the use of sulphite is minimal. The Pouilly-Fuissés mature in oak barrels that are four to five years old. The Mâcon-Villages only matures on stainless steel to offer a fresher style of chardonnay. With all wines, stirring the lees regularly takes place to give the wines extra taste and complexity.
