Domaine de Mauperthuis Les Brulis
That Mauperthuis now farms organically was one of the main reasons we took an interest in the domaine in the first place. In a rarefied place like Burgundy, it really helps to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Soils that are chemically sprayed to get rid of weeds and pests tend to kill the microbial life in the soils. Then you have to pump chemical fertiliser in to counter the damage and end up with artificially high yields. The only people winning are the chemical manufacturers. With organic farming there are no short cuts. You have to look after your vines very carefully and work hard to keep them healthy in order to get a decent crop. Organic farming keeps yields low – which means better concentration and of course better wines. Healthier soils also allow the terroir to shine. Ask any Burgundy winemaker worth their salt and they’ll confirm this. So yes, organic is the only way.
Producer Profile
Our estates were created by wine and winemaking enthusiasts, with a very specific goal: to make quality wines while respecting the terroir and the environment. Already High Environmental Value, the Domaine de Mauperthuis and the Domaine des Marronniers have chosen to enter the process of labeling Organic Farming.
The Domaine de Mauperthuis and the Domaine des Marronniers extend over forty hectares of vines around Chablis. The estates, in the Burgundy appellation, are planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon and César, on south-facing land, enjoying exceptional sunshine. Our low yields (short and airy pruning) allow the terroir to express itself fully to give a very good concentration of Pinot Noir and minerality associated with white flowers in Chardonnay and tangy and exotic fruits for Sauvignon.
