2016  Sur La Roche

Sur La Roche -- A grand cru of the Mâconnais, one of the highest altitude vineyards -- Situated near the Rock of Vergisson, Domaine Barraud has inherited its passion for wine. Tranmitted through generations, the common objective has always been to bring out savoir-faire and unique terroir. Following our motto: "Working well saves time", the domaine has renewed itself while preserving its roots. The viticultural history of the Barraud family began in 1905. Thanks to his literacy and knowledge of arithmetic, Jean-Marie Barraud found a comfortable situation as a share cropper and installed himself in Vergisson. His stable revenue enabled him to save money and purchase, in 1912, the first parcels of Domaine Barraud. Ten years later, Joseph and Marguerite take over. In 1959 Henri Barraud began to work on the family domaine with his wife Monique, a native of Fuissé. In 1990, they acquired the house and the Clos de la Verchère. The initials DB appeared at this time on the label. Passionate about wine and environment, Daniel Barraud is a member of the association GEST Beaune, an association invested in preserving terroirs. Their son, Julien, began working on the domaine in 2006 and learned the family techniques.

2015  Saint-Veran

Saint-Veran -- Born into an established winemaking family in the Maconnais, Marie-Pierre Manciat became the sixth generation to take over the family Chardonnay business in 2002 (the estate has been in existence since 1871). Up until the 80’s, the juice was largely sold off in bulk to local negociants. Then her father Claude took the helm and resurrected the domaine to its proper pedigree and potential with the use of meticulous viticultural and vinification standards, sustainable agriculture, attention to detail, etc.
