Presentation
Located in the heart of Givry, on the Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine Laurent Mouton is a key player in the appellation. Coming from a lineage of winemakers, Laurent Mouton took over the family estate in 2002, perpetuating a know-how passed down for four generations. The estate spans 12 hectares, exclusively planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the flagship grape varieties of Burgundy. Each parcel receives meticulous attention: reasoned cultivation, regular plowing, yield control, and rigorous grape sorting. In the cellar, Laurent Mouton adopts slow and natural fermentations, using indigenous yeasts to preserve the expression of the terroir. Barrel aging is carefully dosed, balancing new and old wood to avoid any aromatic overload. What distinguishes Domaine Laurent Mouton is its commitment to preserving the authenticity of the terroir. It is renowned for its Givry Premier Cru "Clos Jus," a wine of remarkable finesse, perfectly expressing the typicity of its clay-limestone soil and distinguished by its beautiful mineral tension and aging potential.
