Presentation
Located in the heart of the Mâconnais, Domaine du Puits is a family estate that showcases Chardonnay through wines of remarkable finesse. For several decades, the family has carefully tended its vines with deep respect for the terroir, promoting sustainable practices and precise winemaking. The clay-limestone soils impart a fine minerality to the wines, while maturation in both vats and barrels refines their texture and adds further complexity.
