Goedhuis, September 2023
A lockdown discovery for us, Domaine Cornin is a wonderful 10 hectare domaine run by a father and son team. Dominique and Romain were early followers of organic and biodynamic principles, which has undoubtedly been instrumental in allowing them to craft wines of superb quality with distinct vineyard identity. From the foothills of Chaintré this cuvée is from a selection of 50 year old vineyards owned by the domaine and is a perfectly crisp, unoaked style of white Burgundy. Zesty citrus and tangerine go alongside sumptuous white peach notes perfectly. There’s plenty of energy and lift thanks to a mouthwatering limestone minerality and the finish is long, fresh, and delicately creamy. Just delicious. Drink 2023-2026.

Domaine Dominique Cornin
There is so much that makes Domaine Cornin, from the village of Chaintré in Macon, special. Father and son, Dominique and Romain, are men of the soil. Their attitude is summed up by Romain’s ambition for the estate, “accomplishing my dream to become a vigneron fills me with a sense of freedom: The freedom to spend my days, as I see fit, in the thick of my vines, true to my father’s work philosophy and his love of the soil. ...Read more

At his side, I aspire to create a wine that reflects who I am and that I enjoy sharing.” They have been organic practitioners since 2000, something of a rarity in the Maconnais. Their ideology is to show to all the true expression of both the fruit and the soil. These wines are a joy, sourced from some of the oldest vineyards in the region. There is complete respect to individual terroirs and they have an excitement to them, fresh and bright but also juicy and warming.Read less
Region
Mâcon
Lying to the south of the Cote Chalonnaise and the north of Beaujolais, the town of Macon gives its name to wines produced from vineyards scattered among the surrounding villages. The climate is warmer than the Côte d'Or giving wines greater exposure to sun, less rain and reduced risk offrost. The vast majority are fresh, approachable whites made from Chardonnay. Reds and roses are also made principally from Gamay and a tiny amount of Pinot Noir.
