Presentation
Anchored in the heart of Mâconnais, Domaine La Troupe is part of La Cave La Vigne Blanche, a union of 15 winemakers committed to quality and the preservation of their terroir. The name of the estate pays homage to the region's emblematic grape variety: Chardonnay. Ideally located facing the Saône plain, the estate benefits from a climate conducive to optimal grape ripening. Since 1927, these vine enthusiasts have passed down ancestral know-how, ensuring the production of elegant and expressive white wines. Meticulous work in the vineyard, combining sustainable practices and reasoned viticulture, preserves the authenticity of the soils and fully expresses the richness of the Mâconnais terroir. Precise and careful vinification highlights wines with floral and fruity notes, with beautiful freshness and marked minerality. Its membership in a union of winemakers allows for the sharing of expertise and a unique synergy in wine production, while maintaining a strong regional identity.
