We founded Domaine des Cortis in 2016 — Isabelle and I. The domain covers 6 hectares at the crossroads of the Jura, Savoie and Burgundy regions. We favour co-planting; our vineyards teem with life, producing healthy grapes.
We cultivate Chardonnay, Altesse, Gamay, Mondeuse, Pinot Noir, Chasselas, and Corbeau according to biodynamic practices, across five clay-limestone parcels.
We rely on natural fermentation to capture the vintage as sensitively as possible. Our approach is simple: whole-cluster maceration, ageing in vats on fine lees, and, above all, no inputs other than a tiny dose of sulfur at bottling when necessary.
We handpick the grapes, then press them or place them in a vat to initiate fermentation and maceration.
