Domaine de la Pépière is located in the village of Maisdon-sur-Sèvre

It is a somewhat unassuming looking estate from the outside but it houses over a mile-long collection of cellars that date back 500+ years

Grapes are pressed immediately after harvest under low pressure and must is transferred by gravity to new oak casks for fermentation

Florent Garaudet 'Vieilles Vignes' Puligny-Montrachet 2022 OREGON An illustrious yet unassuming ChampagnePuligny Montrachet "Vielles Vignes" comes from 45 year old vines in the flatter, lower hillside lieux dits of Les Boudrires, La Rue Aux Vaches, Les Reuchaux and Derrire la Velle. Grapes harvested by hand and carried to the winery before being pneumatically pressed at low pressure. The must then settles for a period of 1 2 days before being gravity fed to barrels for fermentation and maturation.
