PRODUCER BACKGROUND

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.
