Domaine Catherine et Didier Tripoz

Established in 1989, Domaine Catherine et Didier Tripoz is located in Charnay-lès-Mâcon at the southern end of the Mâcon appellation in eastern France. The village sits on the outskirts of the town of Mâcon, just about 100 miles from Geneva, Switzerland.

The vineyard covers 13 hectares and is planted mainly with Chardonnay with smaller plots of Pinot Noir and Gamay. The Tripoz family is committed to producing grapes of the highest quality. They are respectful of the terroir and the environment. After a three-year process, begun in 2018, the estate was granted a certificate of organic agriculture.

The vines are between 20 and 65 years old. The soil is regularly plowed to promote deep rooting and to improve its microbial life. The youngest plots are grassed in order to limit the vigor of the vines. The wines of Domaine Catherine et Didier Tripoz are aged separately plot by plot for six to 12 months in barrels or vats, depending on the vintage.
