A family

The story of the Domaine Thibert reads like a veritable saga. Starting with a tiny plot in 1967, the Domaine today covers 30 hectares. This family of artisan winemakers has been living in Fuissé for many years.
Over time, their passion for wine and their know-how have been carefully transmitted, with an immense respect for nature and the work of past generations. Leveraging their deep-seated knowledge of the region’s vineyards and their experience, the family has passed down their knowledge from generation to generation. Today, the wines of the Domaine Thibert bear witness to these skills and their profound sensitivity.

A domain

The family’s vineyard holdings are located in several exceptional terroirs for each of its appellations. Christophe and Sandrine are dedicated to exploiting the quality of these plots fully, many of which have been in the family for eight generations.

We only use the fruits we have grown ourselves. This is in keeping with our respect for our roots, but this also forces us to make choices et times, some of which are not simple, but they are essential to ensure the sustainability of our lands.

Our goal is always to combine the best of traditional and modern practices. Our plots are worked in a system of “mixed” viticulture. Drawing on our years of experience and the knowledge we have acquired, we always respect our vineyards and soils, while adapting our practices to climatic conditions. In a nutshell, we want to maintain our freedom, as we have from the very beginning.

Christophe constantly thinks about every aspect and all stages of the production process: care of the vine, winemaking, ageing, bottling, etc.

“You can only bring out the best of a vineyard if you think about its long-term existence.”

The wines

The Domaine includes all the crus of South Burgundy and the main appellations of the Mâconnais: Saint-Véran, the three “Pouilly’s” of Fuissé, Loché and Vinzelles the three Mâcon Villages of Fuissé, Prissé and Verzé.

Each of the appellations comes from exceptional terroirs. We nurture these wines so that they express the most typical features of the land.
Christophe’s precise and continuous thinking is reflected in his wines, maintaining the regularity and safeguarding the identity of the Domaine Thibert’s philosophy: purity, elegance and freshness. The quality of the grapes, the natural stability of the wines and the proper management of the plots enable us to make great wines that keep well.

Exceptionnal Terroirs

The ten “plot” vintages, four of which are located in Pouilly-Fuissé, truly reflect the excellence of the terroir. These high-end cuvées clearly demonstrate our dedication to drawing out the best of each plot with our know-how and passion.

These are “haute couture” wines made to complement gastronomic dishes. They are complex and produced in small batches, designed to age gracefully.

“Grands Classiques”

Our eight “Grands Classiques” are representative of the main Mâconnais vintages. The Chardonnay is enhanced in various assemblages, with the ultimate goal always being to express the quality of the soil and its unique identity.

The ageing time required for these wines is shorter than that of the “Terroirs d’Exceptions”. They can be drunk when they are still young, but can also be allowed to age in the cellar for a few years.
