Domaine Truchetet Bourgogne Aligoté 2022
Location: France, Burgundy
Winemaker: Morgan & Julie Truchetet
Grapes: Aligoté
Soil: clay limestone
Winemaking: Manual harvest with a first sorting in the vineyard and a second sorting on a vibrating table. Aged 10 months in stainless steel.
From the Importer Jeffrey Alpert Selections: Morgan and Julie Truchetet, brother and sister, took over Domaine Truchetet from their father Jean-Pierre in January of 2019. Together, they represent the fifth generation to lead Domaine Truchetet. After receiving his BTS diploma in viticulture and oenology from the lycée viticole in Beaune, Morgan worked at Domaine Lescure in Nuits-Saint-Georges where he deepened his knowledge of organic farming, eventually rising to the position of vineyard manager, a role he assumed from 2012 to 2018. During this time, his younger sister Julie perfected her knowledge of terroirs while working for more than ten years at Domaine Truchetet, alongside Jean-Pierre, so it seems only natural that in 2019 they decided to join forces to take over the Domaine and begin a conversion to organic viticulture. They continue to explore new practices, such as innovative plant and seaweed treatments, reduced doses of sulphur and working by gravity in the winery. All the vineyards are horse ploughed. Their objective is to give energy back to the soil while bottling the fullest expression of each terroir. It’s an ambitious challenge, but one that Morgan and Julie are more than ready to take on!
