Domaine des 4 Coteaux, Bourgogne Chardonnay Fut de Chene
History
: In the southern part of Burgundy, in the small village of Berzé-la-Ville in the Mâconnais region, the story of Domaine Chene begins on the gentle slopes of a vineyard known as “Château Chardon.” In 1973, the family, who had long lived as farmers for generations, began crafting their first wines with a simple philosophy: to make wines from the grapes they grew themselves, wines they would proudly drink with their own family.
As the years passed planting vines, learning to understand the land, and patiently waiting on nature each vintage, the domaine gradually took shape. In 1999, father and son officially established the G.A.E.C Père et Fils partnership, marking the true beginning of the family estate as it is known today.
Today, Domaine Chene continues to quietly build a reputation as a family winery that honors the traditions of Burgundy while looking thoughtfully toward the next generation.
About Wine
: Founded in 1973 in the clay and limestone soils of the southern Mâconnais region of Burgundy, Domaine Chene produces authentic and well-balanced Burgundy wines by harvesting grapes at optimal ripeness and harmoniously combining stainless steel vinification with oak aging. As an independent winegrower (Vigneron Indépendant), the domaine respects its terroir while minimizing chemical intervention and actively promoting environmental sustainability, earning the HVE (High Environmental Value) certification. The wine is traditionally aged in Burgundy oak barrels (fût de chêne) on its lees, developing rich aromas and a smooth, refined texture.
Tasting Note

- Displaying a clear and brilliant golden color, the wine opens with fresh and delicate aromas of yellow apple, pear, peach, and apricot. On the palate, subtle nuances of vanilla and cream derived from oak aging blend beautifully with the fruit flavors, while balanced acidity and mineral notes bring freshness and a clean, elegant finish.
