Domaine Cordier Père et Fils

Domaine Cordier is a family-owned estate located in Burgundy, in the village of Fuissé, at the heart of the Mâconnais region’s finest terroirs. The estate is led by Christophe Cordier, a passionate winemaker who takes pride in showcasing the terroirs and bringing out their full potential. Here, exceptional white wines made from the Chardonnay grape are produced, often compared to the finest Grands Crus.

Like all great houses, Domaine Cordier devotes all the necessary attention and expertise to the production of its wines. Pruning, carried out in a highly personal style; green harvesting practices (thinning followed by debudding); the choice of compost over chemical fertilizers; and manual harvesting, plot by plot—all these practices illustrate the high standards upheld at the estate. In winemaking, similarly, the exclusive use of native lees and indigenous yeasts demonstrates how much Christophe Cordier wants to preserve the character and identity of his wines. Precision work tailored to each plot, each grape, each wine

Domaine Cordier cultivates about a hundred plots, scattered across the hillsides of the Mâconnais. A mosaic of vineyards, a mosaic of terroirs—a true treasure for Christophe Cordier, who takes pleasure in working with this diversity. The young winemaker enjoys cultivating different soils (primary, secondary, and tertiary) across small plots. It’s as if each plot were a challenge. “A logistical challenge,” he admits, but a genuine strategic choice for the estate, which aspires to create the finest wines of the Mâconnais. A mosaic of 100 plots spread across 7 communes: Fuissé, Charnay-les-Mâcon, Loché, Leynes, Chasselas, Vergisson, and Davayé.

In 2003,Christophe Cordier launched a small “haute couture” wine merchant business, specializing in high-quality white wines from Burgundy and Beaujolais. Christophe Cordier selects the finest terroirs to offer his clients the diversity and richness of the Burgundy and Beaujolais vineyards. The wines produced (Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé, Viré-Clessé...) are vinified and aged under the supervision of Christophe Cordier at the Domaine Cordier cellar, exclusively using natural yeasts and matured in barrels on the lees. A labor of passion.
