Approach

Biodynamic, Certified organic by Ecocert since 2019

Fabrice Groussin, the winemaker of the Domaine Changarnier cultivates the vineyards according to biodynamic and organic principles. The domaine was certified organic in 2019 by Ecocert. The parcels are farmed with respect to the terroirs in order to express the characteristics of each wine in the best way possible. Fabrice Groussin also restored the vineyards and brought back life to the soil through biodynamic practices. The grapes are picked manually and put in crates.

The whites are fermented without sulphur until after the malolactic fermentation, have 12 months in the barrel and three more in the tank before bottling in December. In total, the wines age in barrels for 12 months. Fabrice Groussin uses 15 to 20 percent of new barrels. The wines are refined in vats before bottling, usually done in winter.
